Energy Investments

With rebuilt industrial facilities and growing energy demand, Hatay offers favorable ground for renewable energy investments, from solar to energy storage.

Why Invest in Energy in Hatay?

The Mediterranean's long sunshine hours make Hatay well-suited to solar power plant (SPP) investments. Rebuilt industrial facilities after the earthquake and rising production across the OIZs are growing demand for both grid-scale and industry-specific energy projects.

Rooftop solar applications and EV charging infrastructure in rebuilt residential areas also offer relatively low-capital entry points for both individual and institutional investors.

Where Can You Invest?

Districts that stand out for energy investment.

Kırıkhan and Reyhanlı

Suited to SPP investments given broad agricultural land and high sunshine hours.

İskenderun, Erzin, Hassa OIZs

Direct demand for industry-specific energy projects and rooftop solar.

Antakya and Defne

Rooftop solar and charging-station opportunities in rebuilt residential areas.

Altınözü

Potential for biomass and agricultural-waste-based energy projects in rural areas.

Investment Models

Different ways to bring your energy investment to life.

01

Unlicensed Generation (Self-Consumption)

Building an SPP to meet an industrial facility or business's own energy need.

02

Licensed Generation (Grid Sales)

Obtaining an EPDK license to build a plant that sells electricity to the grid.

03

Joint Venture (JV)

Partnering with a local landowner to reduce land-use cost.

04

Energy Performance Contract

Offering an energy-efficiency solution to an existing facility with a revenue model built on the savings generated.

Licensing & Permit Process

The core steps to complete before setting up an energy facility.

  • Licensed/unlicensed generation application to EPDK
  • Connection agreement application to the relevant distribution company (TEDAŞ)
  • Zoning status and land-use permit
  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, by capacity
  • Building permit (for site and transformer structures)
  • Non-agricultural-use permit if agricultural land is used

Incentives & Support

Region 6 incentives apply to energy investments too; additional national-level supports like YEKDEM (the Renewable Energy Resources Support Mechanism) offer purchase guarantees.

OIZ administrations (for industrial energy projects)

Our Feasibility Approach

The feasibility of an energy investment rests on data like the site's solar/wind yield, grid connection capacity, investment cost against expected payback period, and revenue projections by licensed/unlicensed generation model.

Our feasibility work gathers this data depending on whether you're planning a self-consumption project or one aimed at grid sales.

From the official data

Energy: The Only Item in the Public Investment Programme

The 2026 Investment Programme contains a single energy project: TEİAŞ's 154 kV Reyhanlı–Hassa transmission line (65 km, TRY 950 million, 2025–2028), with a 2026 allocation of TRY 500 million.

IndicatorValueYearSource
Reyhanlı–Hassa 154 kV transmission line (65 km)TRY 950 million2026[1]
Energy's share of the programme0.3%2026[1]

What does this data mean for an investor?

Energy's share of the public programme is well below 1%, which suggests that solar, wind or storage investments are expected to move mainly through private investment and licensing processes rather than the public budget (interpretation). Because the line reinforces grid capacity at 154 kV, it may affect grid-connection options for facilities around Hassa and Reyhanlı; how much capacity opens at which point cannot be read from this source.

Limitation: This is public investment only. Installed capacity, electricity generation, solar potential and grid-connection capacity data (TEİAŞ, EPDK, the relevant distribution company) are not in this compilation and should be consulted separately before any energy investment.
