For the successful implementation of energy projects, attention is required not only in engineering and construction phases but also in ensuring compliance with legal regulations. In Turkey, the approval of distribution companies and higher authorities, such as TEDAŞ (Turkey Electricity Distribution Co.), TEMSAN (Turkey Electrical Machinery and Equipment Industry Co.), and other relevant entities, is crucial for the feasibility and safety of energy projects. At Maytek Energy, we expertly manage these approval processes in all our projects, ensuring a smooth and seamless project experience for our clients.

What is Distribution Company and Higher Authorities’ Approval?

In energy projects, compliance with the technical and legal standards set by the distribution company in the region and relevant higher authorities (e.g., TEDAŞ, TEMSAN) is mandatory. These institutions ensure that energy production, transmission, and distribution projects are conducted safely, efficiently, and in accordance with the law.

TEDAŞ Approval:

TEDAŞ is the primary organization responsible for regulating and overseeing electricity distribution services across Turkey. In energy projects, TEDAŞ approval confirms that the project’s connection to the distribution grid is technically safe and meets required standards.

TEMSAN Approval:

TEMSAN is a key organization involved in the production, supply, and inspection of electrical machinery, equipment, and systems used in the energy sector. TEMSAN approval ensures that the equipment and systems used in the project meet technical requirements and standards.

Distribution Company Approval:

The distribution company serving the area where the project will be located is responsible for ensuring that the project integrates properly with the local energy distribution network. This approval process verifies that the project complies with the local grid infrastructure.

Importance of the Approval Process

The approval process by distribution companies and higher authorities is a critical step for the successful execution of energy projects. This process ensures that projects comply with national and local regulations and guarantees the safe operation of energy systems. Additionally, obtaining these approvals confirms the legal status of the project and prevents any potential legal issues for the business.

Key Benefits of the Approval Process:

1. Safety: Distribution company and higher authority approvals validate the compliance of the project with technical standards, ensuring the safety of energy systems. This is a critical measure to prevent potential accidents and failures.
2. Legal Compliance: The approval process ensures that the project adheres to relevant laws and regulations, allowing businesses to operate without legal complications.
3. Efficiency: The approval process encourages the optimization of energy efficiency in the project, helping to reduce energy costs and minimize environmental impact.
4. Project Financing: In many cases, financial institutions and investors consider approvals from distribution companies and higher authorities a prerequisite for funding. These approvals enhance the project’s financing and attract investor interest.

How the Approval Process Works

At Maytek Energy, we manage the distribution company and higher authority approval processes meticulously for all our projects. The process consists of the following steps:

1. Project Preparation: At the beginning of the project, all necessary technical documents and project plans are prepared. This includes gathering information on the equipment to be used, energy demands, and other relevant details. Additionally, documents required for applications to local distribution companies and higher authorities are organized.
2. Application: After completing the technical documents and necessary paperwork, official applications are submitted to the relevant distribution company and higher authorities (e.g., TEDAŞ, TEMSAN). These applications initiate the detailed technical review process for the project.
3. Evaluation and Review: Distribution companies and higher authorities review the application documents from a technical standpoint. This process involves evaluating the project’s integration with the local grid, its compliance with safety standards, and meeting technical requirements. Changes to the project may be requested if necessary.
4. Feedback and Revisions: Following the review, the distribution company and higher authorities provide feedback. Based on this feedback, our project team makes the necessary revisions and resubmits the application for approval.
5. Approval and Obtaining Permits: After all reviews and revisions are completed, the necessary approvals and permits are obtained for the project. These approvals are required to proceed with the construction and commissioning of the project.
6. Commissioning and Monitoring: Once the project is completed, final checks are made to ensure the system is successfully commissioned. Distribution companies and higher authorities confirm that the system is operational and that all safety protocols are in place.

Types of Projects Requiring Approval

Energy projects requiring distribution company and higher authority approvals cover various areas of the energy sector. At Maytek Energy, we successfully manage the approval processes for the following types of projects:

1. Energy Production Plants: Power plants, especially renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass, require distribution company and higher authority approvals. These approvals ensure the safe integration of the plant into the energy grid.
2. Energy Distribution Projects: The construction of new energy distribution lines or the upgrading of existing ones requires approval from local distribution companies. This process ensures that the energy distribution infrastructure is safe and efficient.
3. Industrial Facilities and Large Commercial Buildings: Industrial plants and large commercial buildings with high energy consumption must go through the approval process before connecting to the local energy distribution network. This ensures that the facility’s energy demands are safely met.
4. Renewable Energy Projects: Projects involving solar, wind, and biomass energy require approval from higher authorities regarding grid integration and system security.
