Turkey’s Dogan Enerji signed an accord with Turkish, Belgian and Canadian companies yesterday to take part in a tender to build and operate Turkey’s first nuclear power plant, parent company Dogan Holding said.
Its partners in the deal are Turkish conglomerate Anadolu Endustri Holding, Brussels-based energy company Unit Investment NV and Canada’s Bruce Power, Dogan said in a statement to the Istanbul Stock Exchange.
Turkey has set a deadline of September 24 for bids to build the plant at Akkuyu near Mersin on the Mediterranean coast with a capacity of 4,000 megawatts, plus or minus 25 percent. Turkish conglomerate Sabanci said last month it was in talks with General Electric Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Spanish utility Iberdrola SA on the tender.
