It will be working for Icanadolu Doğalgaz Elektrik Üretim ve Ticaret on the approximately US$900m (£544m) facility, which has the capacity to provide over 50% of the electricity in Ankara.
The project represents one of the largest investments in Turkey in recent years. The plant will use a highly-efficient General Electric combined-cycle system, comprising gas and steam turbines, generators and heat-recovery steam generators and controls. Mott MacDonald will review and verify the power plant’s design, carry out factory inspections and monitor construction on site.
Cetin Atmaca, Mott MacDonald’s power manager for Turkey, said: “This new project at Kirikkale will feature substantial involvement from our office in Istanbul, which is also working on a number of other power projects in the country.”
The project is due to be completed by the end of 2016.
