Manavgat Solar Power Plant (SPP) Installation
Antalya · Gürsan Enerji
Manavgat's Profile: One of Turkey's Tourism Powerhouses
In 2024, Manavgat drew 5.7 million tourists, contributing $6.65 billion to Turkey's $61 billion tourism revenue; the district has 423 accommodation facilities with a combined bed capacity of 193,000 — the highest bed count of any district in Antalya. The ancient city of Side, on UNESCO's Tentative Heritage List, is the region's most important cultural tourism site.
The Manavgat River, originating from Mount Şeytan (~2,130 m) in the Western Taurus range, feeds the turquoise Manavgat Waterfall, surrounded by willows, pines, planes, and mulberry trees. Alongside tourism, the Manavgat Plain grows citrus, bananas, vegetables, and various fruits — beach tourism dominates in summer, while nature walks, canyon tours, and historical visits stand out in spring and autumn.
Energy Needs and Solar Opportunity in Manavgat
This dual economy — dense tourism facilities alongside citrus and greenhouse farming — makes solar attractive for both hotel/resort businesses and agricultural producers; 193,000 beds of accommodation capacity form a large market with high common-area and pool consumption.
Investor-allocation work is ongoing for the planned Manavgat Organized Industrial Zone, signaling growth in the number of industrial facilities and their energy needs in the period ahead.
