Located in the Aydın region, the 33MWe Emir plant and the 13MWe Nezihe Beren 2 plant are expected to be commissioned by November 2025.
Exergy International has signed an agreement with Maren Maraş Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. for the supply of two new geothermal power plants in Turkey.
Located in the Aydın region, the 33MWe Emir plant and the 13MWe Nezihe Beren 2 plant are expected to be commissioned by November 2025.
These two binary geothermal power plants will utilise Exergy's advanced ORC technology based on the Radial Outflow Turbine. The Emir plant will feature a configuration with three turbines and two generators, while the Nezihe Beren 2 plant will have one turbine and one generator. Both power plants will use air-cooled condensers.

Once in operation, the two geothermal power plants will save approximately 134,000 tonnes of CO2 emission per year, avoiding an equivalent fossil fuel power generation.
Luca Pozzoni, general manager of Exergy International, commented: “This agreement marks another significant achievement for Exergy in Turkey, a region where we have 23 geothermal power plants operational in our portfolio, with several more nearing completion.”
Erdogan Arpaci, general manager of Exergy Turkey, added: “We have worked closely with Maren to achieve this outcome, and at Exergy we are very eager to begin the execution phase for these significant projects, which will bring an additional 46MWe of capacity to the Turkish geothermal market.”
Kipaş Holding, the parent company of Maren Maraş Elektrik Üretim A.Ş, currently operates ten geothermal power plants, three of which were supplied by Exergy.
