This deal is expected to support UK jobs in the renewable-energy sector supply chain, particularly in the Midlands.<\/p>\n The 390MWp project entails the construction and operation of solar power plants at seven separate sites, with aggregate power generating capacity of 390 MWp across the provinces of Bor-Nigde, Gaziantep and Sanliurfa-Viransehir. Upon completion, the project could generate enough renewable electricity to power over 65,000 households in Turkey annually.<\/p>\n British exporter GE Vernova \u2013 via its subsidiary UK Grid Solutions Ltd \u2013 will supply and install inverter stations, power-plant controllers and other critical equipment. This is expected to directly support British jobs at GE Vernova\u2019s Staffordshire site, as well as jobs in the wider UK supply chain.<\/p>\n Polish exporters will deliver security systems (including both software and equipment) and steel components for the project. This is set to create jobs in manufacturing and logistics sectors.<\/p>\n Standard Chartered acted as Structuring Bank, Green Loan Coordinator, Lead Arranger and Lender.
