Pamukören geothermal power plant
Verkís has assisted the turn-key contractor Atlas Copco during the commissioning and start-up phase of the Pamukören binary geothermal power plant.
Project overview
Çelikler Jeotermal Elektrik Üretim A.S. is active in the energy, construction and mining sectors. The company has developed the Pamukören geothermal field in the Menderes basin over the past years. The power plant combines five 22,5 MW binary units with a total installed power of 112,5MW.
Testing and commissioning is a crucial element in the development of geothermal power plants as the last step before operation and Verkís’ multi-disciplinary team brings extensive experience in this field. All equipment and systems need to be properly checked and tested to assure that the plant is ready to function in both normal and emergency conditions, in a safe, efficient and controlled manner. Efficient and systematic planning of these activities is the key to successful finalization of projects. Specific emphasis is on planning and coordination of the test and commissioning activities together with the working procedures, including checklists and documentation of test results.
Verkís’ experts participated in the commissioning and start-up activities for the electrical, control and protection systems of the Pamukören I, II, III, IV and V power plants.

The Challenge
The Pamukören Geothermal Power Plant was developed as one of Turkey’s largest binary geothermal power facilities, comprising five generating units with a combined capacity of 112.5 MW. A key challenge was ensuring the safe, efficient and coordinated commissioning of complex electrical, control and protection systems before the plant entered commercial operation.
Our Solution
Verkís supported the EPC contractor, Atlas Copco, during the commissioning and start-up of all five power plant units. Our multidisciplinary team provided expertise in the testing, verification and commissioning of electrical, control and protection systems, ensuring that all equipment and plant systems operated safely and reliably under both normal and emergency conditions.
The Result
The successful commissioning of the Pamukören Power Plant enabled the reliable start-up of one of Turkey’s largest binary geothermal energy facilities. Through systematic planning, rigorous testing and specialist commissioning expertise, Verkís helped deliver a high-performance renewable power plant that contributes significantly to Turkey’s growing geothermal electricity production.
