The barges are part of the numerous efforts put in place by government to solve the energy challenge facing the country.

The CEO of Karadeniz Holdings,Olhan Karadeniz speaks of the kind of fuel that will be used for the Karpowership and other works to be done on it. He said fuel to be used for the ship is also very cheap.
