Yingli Green Energy Holding Company is partnering with Motif Proje ve Insaat to develop 20MW solar projects in Turkey.
Development of the projects is underway and construction is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2016.
Yingli and Motif Proje also intend to collaborate on an additional 10MW pipeline in the country, which they expect to complete by the end of 2016.
The two companies have worked together previously to develop a 10MW portfolio across four sites covering approximately 18 hectares in western Turkey.
Yingli Europe Turkey project manager Anian Schreiber said: “Turkey is an extremely promising market for solar project development due to its growing demand for electricity, large population of over 75 million people, and high levels of solar irradiation.
“With the support of Motif Proje, we can rapidly scale our development activities in this high-potential market.”
Motif Proje managing director Deniz Selkan Polatkan said: “Yingli is an ideal partner in our mission to build a sustainable solar business in Turkey.
“We are confident that patient and sustainable companies will be successful in the Turkish PV market.”
