Türkiye inspires with Europe's largest solar power plant for 2 million people!

Kalyon Karapınar, Konya, Türkei - Turkey sets an impressive sign in the area of ​​renewable energies by putting the largest solar power plant in Europe, Kalyon Karapınar. This gigantic system, which extends over 20 million square meters - this corresponds to around 2,600 soccer fields - has an installed performance of 1,350 MW and supplies around 2 million people with clean electricity every year. According to reports from efahrer.chip.de , Kalyon Karapınar can generate up to 3 billion kilowatt hours of energy and contributes significantly to the reduction of Carbon emissions by saving 1.5 million tons of fossil fuels annually.

The impressive solar industry in Türkiye is also evident in the production capacity of the Kalyon PV company, which operates a fully integrated solar module factory in Ankara. This factory is the only of its kind outside China and combines all phases of solar modules under one roof. Kalyon PV plans to significantly increase its production capacity of currently 1,000 MW to over 2,000 MW, which will further promote the growth of solar energy in Turkey, such as oekonews.at reported. By 2030, an estimated 33 GW of memory-integrated wind and solar projects are on schedule, which strengthens the position of Türkiye as a leading player in the area of ​​renewable energies.

progress in solar energy

In the past two and a half years, Turkey's solar and wind energy have helped to avoid natural gas imports worth $ 15 billion, which strengthens the country's energy independence. The solar energy alone has delivered around 52 TWh of electricity, which makes 6 % of the country's total power supply. The plans of the Turkish government to increase the proportion of renewable energies clearly show that Turkey is on the way to play an important role in the European energy market by focusing on clean and sustainable energies.

The introduction of modern regulations for the promotion of memory -integrated power plants is intended to help optimize the integration of renewable energies into the network and to accelerate the transition to a greener energy future. These positive developments offer great potential for future investments and projects in the field of renewable energies and position Turkey as a pioneer in the global energy transition.
