Turkey’s Karadeniz: taking power to the people who need it | beyondbrics

Turkey’s Karadeniz: taking power to the people who need it | beyondbrics:

"As the French author Victor Hugo put it: “All the forces in the world are not as powerful as an idea whose time has come.”

Hugo died long before electricity became commonplace in Europe’s major cities, but his aphorism could easily be applied to electricity itself – and even to Turkey’s Karadeniz Holding, which has come up with a novel and successful means of taking power to parts of the world where existing supply has problems meeting growing demand.

Simply: take one cargo ship, bulk carrier, barge or similar craft; remove unnecessary cargo handling equipment; and install generators and transformers in the hold.

Next, dispatch your newly created “Powership” to anywhere with a ready supply of fuel oil or natural gas and a ready market for electricity.
