Akfen Renewable Energy, which generates electricity exclusively from domestic and renewable sources—solar, water and wind—and has an installed capacity of 887 MW, continues to contribute to Turkey's economy while pursuing sustainable energy production and reduction of environmental impacts.
The company is successfully implementing carbon emission reduction credit sales processes for its Üçpınar Wind Power Plant (RES), Hasanoba RES and Kocalar RES projects located in Çanakkale, and the Denizli RES project in Denizli. These efforts contribute to both environmental sustainability goals and economic value creation.
Operating with a production portfolio composed entirely of domestic and renewable sources, Akfen Renewable Energy continues to support the transformation of Turkey's renewable energy sector through its carbon market practices.
With a balanced production structure from wind, solar and hydroelectric sources, the company maintains its growth in sustainable energy while, through recent carbon credit sales, contributing not only to environmental sustainability goals but also showcasing notable success for Turkey in international carbon markets.
Through high-volume carbon credit sales, Akfen Renewable Energy has become one of the pioneering implementations in this field in Turkey, while also becoming an important reference point for the sector in carbon finance. Through the company's carbon credit sales, millions of tonnes of carbon emissions have been offset, while generating millions of dollars in economic value for Turkey's economy.
"CARBON WILL BECOME ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS IN THE ENERGY SECTOR"
Mustafa Kemal Güngör, General Director of Akfen Renewable Energy, noted that the success achieved in carbon markets is not merely a commercial outcome, making the following assessment:
"We do not evaluate our renewable energy investments solely as electricity generation. We operate simultaneously from the perspective of sustainable development, environmental responsibility and creating economic value for our country. We are proud to be among the pioneer companies in this field in Turkey through our carbon credit sales. We believe that the steps we have taken constitute an important example for the sector's future."
Emphasizing that carbon markets will become one of the most important areas in the energy sector in the future, Güngör continued:
"Within the transforming energy ecosystem globally, carbon management and sustainable finance have become an integral part of energy investments. As Akfen Renewable Energy, we will continue to be at the center of this transformation."
CONTRIBUTING TO TURKEY'S ENERGY TRANSFORMATION
Operating renewable energy plants in 18 different provinces in Turkey, Akfen Renewable Energy has significantly increased its installed capacity at approximately 887 MW in recent years and continues to pursue efforts in reducing environmental impacts, increasing domestic resource use and sustainable energy production.
The company continues to contribute to Turkey's energy transformation through its active role in carbon markets and renewable energy investments.
