It is expected that the solar power plant built in the vicinity of the village of Güzel Öz will produce 1.8 GWh of electricity in its first year of operation and benefit from the feed-in tariff of 13.3 cents (12.07 euro cents) per kWh over the next 10 years, the press release said.

IBC said it has a pipeline of 50 MW and plans to create projects totalling 100 MW in Turkey in the next two years.
