Türksat continues to set an example for both the environment and the economy through its investments in renewable energy, realizing projects that serve as benchmarks in both areas. The Türksat Solar Power Plant (SPP), which was commissioned in July 2024 and spans an area of 131 acres, produced 5.6 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy in its first six months, resulting in approximately 25 million Turkish Lira in savings.
By reducing the use of fossil fuels through its Solar Power Plant, Türksat prevented the emission of 2.7 tons of CO₂. This figure is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide that approximately 108,000 trees can absorb from the atmosphere. More than just an energy generation facility, the Türksat SPP also supports the company’s operations in several fields, especially Türkiye’s digital transformation process.
Türksat now supports critical missions such as protecting Türkiye’s space rights, maintaining the e-Government infrastructure, providing data center services, and offering cybersecurity support—all entirely through renewable energy sources. Meeting all the energy needs of its campuses in Ankara with solar power, Türksat is enhancing its energy independence through a sustainable approach.
60 Million TL in Annual Savings
The environmental and economic benefits of the Türksat SPP are expected to increase even further in the coming years. It is projected that the plant will produce approximately 13 GWh of energy annually, leading to more than 60 million Turkish Lira in savings. In addition, an estimated 6 tons of CO₂ emissions will be prevented annually, offering even greater environmental gains. This amount is equivalent to the carbon absorbed by nearly 250 thousand trees.
Thanks to its vision of "Clean Energy, Clean World," Türksat continues its determination to leave a more livable planet to future generations through its investments in renewable energy. This major project once again highlights the importance of environmentally friendly approaches in energy production.
