* We continue to provide electricity transmission to factories with our Kentsa natural gas power plant in Kocaeli.
As a critical component of our sustainability strategy, our Tufanbeyli (TFB) power plant is in the process of evolution from thermal power generation to being a renewable energy hub.
The TFB site is in an ideal location for conversion to renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines.
With our completed and ongoing Hybrid SPP projects, the power plant, which will reach a minimum of 300 MW solar installed power over the years, is currently integrated into the electricity grid, revealing that it can play a critical role not only in increasing the speed of renewable energy projects, but also in terms of ensuring integration.
With the effect of increasing air temperatures, TFB has the potential to become a data processing and energy storage centre. Energy storage technologies have the potential to correct imbalances between generation and demand, increase energy efficiency and contribute to meeting energy demand respectively.
Our learning centre ‘Academy’ will play a key role in this transformation process and will be positioned as a talent development centre that will support employees’ adaptation to the renewable energy sector. This offers the potential to lead the industry in talent and knowledge expansion while accelerating the pace of the renewable energy transition. All these factors make TFB a prominent and exemplary model in global just transition practices.
