Returning to Istanbul for its third year, Solar Turkey produced with the government support of the Turkish Prime Ministry, EUAS, TEIAS, EIE & TETAS, has become the official meeting place for domestic and international companies looking to evaluate and break into the sector.
★. What's New for 2011?
● Government perspectives on their rationale on the feed-in tariff: How do they envisage solar companies can make a return on investment in the Turkish market and in what time frame?
● Exclusive update on the details of the new licensing process for large scale solar projects as they look set to be finalised in the next couple of months
● New focus session on solar manufacturing: How can you best set up a plant? What challenges will you face in Turkey? What are the markets for your products? Which domestic and international players are looking to do it?
● Case studies of industrial and commercial scale plants being constructed and under development
● Regional outlook: What are the opportunities for large scale solar development in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, the Middle East and other neighbouring countries? Can Turkey serve as a hub to these?
Ⅱ. Agenda Outline:
1. Day One -- Sep. 20, 2011
1) How to ensure a ROI with the current FiT for solar power in Turkey
● What was the government rational behind the chosen values for the FiT
● In what instances can these be attractive to develop projects?
● Will decreases in module prices make the FiT more attractive in the near future?
● What is the true cost of developing large scale solar projects in Turkey: land purchase, permitting processes, raw materials costs, labor costs
2) Understanding the licensing process for large scale solar projects
● Status of the finalisation of guidelines
● Learning from wind power licensing applications, what to expect for solar and what timelines to expect
● Proposed coordinates of suitable substations to connect a future solar power plant
● Will large scale projects take off and when will this happen?
● Which developers will be interested and how big do we envisage the plants will be?
2. Day Two -- Sep. 21, 2011
1) Solar manufacturing in Turkey
● The impact of the provisions in the FiT to encourage domestic manufacturing: which companies are now applying to manufacture solar modules?
● Cost of manufacturing in Turkey vs China
● Poor proposals put forward for manufacturing plants and how to spot them
● Which industries are likely to move into manufacturing
2) Getting a manufacturing facility on-line
● Timelines and processes to get a manufacturing line operational
● Case studies of manufacturing plants being constructed
● Quality assurance of locally manufactured modules
● Sourcing components
3) Neighbouring countries as markets for solar panels and solar projects
● Developing Solar markets in the Balkans: How mature are they and what legislation is in place
● Gateway to the Middle Eastern markets
● Appetite for Turkish modules in the EU and further afield
4) Industrial & commercial scale solar power generation
● Synergies with CSP and using high temperature steam & pressure to drive manufacturing processes. How much can be made by selling to the grid?
● Existing solar projects with on site consumption of electricity: will these connect into the grid?
