Assystem gets assessment work for 50 MW solar project in Sivas

Assystem has been selected by a major Turkish energy provider to conduct an environmental and social impact assessment for a 50 MW solar photovoltaic plant in Sivas, Turkey.

Assystem will establish a comprehensive action plan to deliver a range of ecological surveys to ensure environmental impact is minimized. These include water and soil quality studies, noise measurements and biodiversity assessments. It will also conduct stakeholder engagement activities to improve understanding of the local population's expectations regarding the project, including meetings with village leaders and surveys of local households.

The project will lead to the first co-located renewable energy site in Turkey, as the solar plant is being developed next to an operational 128 MW wind farm.
