Implemented by GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Renewable Energy and Migration – REMI is an innovative project operating at the interface of sustainable energy and refugee matters in Turkey.
REMI is implemented in Gaziantep and its surroundings in the South- East region of Turkey and in Istanbul and consists of three complementary project components: “Solar Technician Trainings for Turkish citizens and Syrians under temporary protection”, “Solar PV installations on Public buildings” and “Private sector cooperation and awareness-raising”.
The opening ceremony for the solar power plant installed on the roof of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Engelsiz Yaşam (“Barrier- Free”) Rehabilitation Centre, with the help of REMI technicians will be realised with the participation of the Mayor of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality, Ms Fatma Şhin.
