As it applies to all other licensed market players, licensed
renewable power plants have to estimate the amount of electricity
they will produce on an hourly basis. These forecasts are submitted
to EPİAŞ as sales offers and to TEİAŞ as Finalized Daily Production
Program (KGUP) notifications.
This operation requires continuous forecasting and data entry, and
it is a costly process that depends on a reliable forecasting model,
a brilliant comprehension of EPİAŞ and TEİAŞ market management
systems, regular legislative monitoring and a sufficient workforce
working in shifts.
Deviations between the forecasted and actual hourly generations are
penalized in very high amounts by EPİAŞ and TEİAŞ in compliance with
the calculation methodology set in Article 110 of the Balancing and
Settlement Regulation. Imbalance Cost is the sum of the Energy
Imbalance Penalty and Finalized Generation Program Deviation Amount
(KUPST) fees charged to licensed generation companies by EPİAŞ and
TE?? respectively.
Especially in wind and solar and hydroelectric power plants,
generations can vary greatly depending on the weather conditions,
technical problems that can be experienced frequently, and
deviations in production forecast models. Many factors including but
not limited to beforementioned might cause imbalance costs up to 20%
of production revenues.
Gain Energy provides Renewable Power Plant Management services to
all licensed hydro, solar, wind, geothermal and biomass facilities
located in 81 provinces of Turkey.
Could Gain Energy provide Renewable Power Plant Management services
to the facilities included in feed-in tariff (YEKDEM)?
Yes, all facilities included in YEKDEM can benefit from our
Renewable Power Plant Management service. The fact that your
facility is covered by YEKDEM does not make any difference in our
agreement models and daily operations.
After the amendment in YEKDEM legislation put into force in 2016,
renewable power plants benefiting from YEKDEM have to conduct their
own market operations and bear the imbalance costs resulting from
these operations. Gain Energy undertakes all the market operations
you are responsible for and all the imbalance costs incurred as a
result of these operations. YEKDEM settlement and payment of
settlement invoices between your company and EPİAŞ will continue in
as it is.
Yes, depending on the agreement model, you can continue to
receive daily payments from EPİAŞ after you transfer the operations
to Gain Energy.
Within the scope of its Renewable Power Plant Management service,
Gain Energy serves you with two different agreement models. With
service type we call the Daily Income Model, your generations are
directly sold to the spot market through your own EPİAŞ accounts and
daily payments are directly received by your Takasbank account.
Yes, you can get the Renewable Power Plant Management service provided by Gain Energy under the assignment agreement between your bank and your company. In case your bank requests, a letter of assignment approval is given to your bank by Gain Energy.
For the power plants within the scope of YEKDEM, a tolerance
payment is made by EPİAŞ at the rate of a certain percentage of the
spot market prices, in order them to cover imbalance costs and daily
market operation expenses.
Gain Enerji undertakes all your operations and imbalance costs at a
service fee lower than this tolerance provided to you by EPİAŞ and
leaves the gap between tolerance and service fee to your company by
guaranteeing extra revenue above YEKDEM price. Thus, power plant
owners could fix their income throughout the year, regardless of all
market operations and imbalance costs.
Yes, all licensed market participants who manage their own operations but still aim to reduce imbalance cost with passive imbalance management can benefit from the Balancing Group Service provided by Gain Energy.
Green Energy is the energy obtained from natural sources such as
water, sun, wind and renewed in the natural life cycle.
Green Energy sources do not produce pollutants such as greenhouse
gases that cause destructive effects on the environment, and do not
cause climate change. However, Green Energy sources are readily
available all over the world, including in rural areas that do not
have direct access to electricity.
Green Energy Certificate is a national or global certification system used to prove that the electricity used by a consumer is obtained from renewable energy sources. Green Energy Certificates are independent of electricity supply, that is, a consumer can obtain their electricity from another supplier while obtaining the Green Energy Certificate from Gain Energy. In order to obtain a Green Energy Certificate, the consumer does not need to be connected to green energy sources with a direct line and change their wiring.
As a result of the decision taken by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) in 2018, consumers whose annual electricity consumption exceeds the high consumption limit 1 lost their right to supply electricity at the tariff prices determined by EMRA for final consumers. The tariff to be applied to these consumers in case they do not exercise their free consumer right is the Last Resource Tariff, which is indexed to the sum of the electricity prices in the spot market (Market Clearing Price -PTF-) and the YEKDEM price plus the service fee to be charged over this total price.
