Introduction
Turkish Electricity Generation Company
("EÜAŞ") commissioned seven
mobile power plants based on natural gas since the beginning of
2019. Each power plant has an aggregate capacity of 25 MW and will
be used to ensure the electricity supply security in case of a
power outage due to a malfunction or a natural disaster. The mobile
power plants are designed to provide electricity in only a few
hours, including assembly and connection to the relevant power
grid.
During the initial phase of operation, these mobile power plants
will be based in the substations located in seven connection
points: Istanbul (European side), Istanbul (Asian side), Adana,
Ankara, Antalya, Diyarbakır and Izmir. The construction of a
new power plant takes approximately thirty-six months. Therefore,
these mobile power plants are likely to provide the fastest
solution in the event of urgent electricity demand in a feasible
way, especially after natural disasters and during power
