SOLAR POWER PLANTS

We currently operate a total installed capacity of 1,350 MWp in commercial Solar Power Plants. With the ongoing construction projects scheduled for commissioning in September 2023, December 2023, and June 2023, totaling 390 MWp, our total installed capacity will reach 1,740 MWp.

Kalyon Karapınar SPP

Kalyon Karapınar SPP
The largest solar energy facility in Türkiye and Europe, and one of the largest in the world, Kalyon Karapınar SPP features approximately 3.5 million solar panels spanning an area of approximately 20 million square meters, equivalent to the size of 2600 football fields, reclaiming for economic use a previously ecologically degraded and desertified land. Construction of the plant began in August 2020, and it reached full operational capacity in March 2023. One of the key components of the project, photovoltaic panels, were manufactured with an 80% local content at the Kalyon PV Solar Technologies factory in Ankara to be used in the Karapınar YEKA-1 SPP project. The project also features a east-west axis solar tracking system (single-axis tracker). This system increases power generation efficiency by 15% compared to fixed angle panels.

The project, with its 1,350 MWp installed capacity, generates nearly 3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, providing clean energy for a city with a population of 2 million. Furthermore, it contributes significantly to Türkiye’s solar energy capacity, resulting in a 15% growth, while also preventing approximately 1.7 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

As one of the world’s top five largest solar energy facilities, Kalyon Karapınar YEKA-1 Solar Power Plant plays a crucial role in reducing Türkiye’s energy dependence as we continue to progress with the strength of this unique land and its people.

"Through domestic and national energy production, we contribute to our country’s development and work towards a more sustainable world."

Bor SPP

Bor SPP
Bor-3 SPP entered Kalyon Enerji’s portfolio through a competition held on March 30, 2022, under the scope of YEKA SPP-4. Located near the Bor Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ) in the vicinity of Emen Village, Bor-3 SPP has a capacity of 100 MWe / 130 MWp. It is an important project that is poised to enhance Türkiye’s and Kalyon Enerji’s renewable energy capabilities.

The installation and construction works began in March, with a target completion date by the end of 2023. It offers significant employment opportunities to the local community, employing approximately 400 individuals during installation and around 30 during operation.

Upon completion, it will occupy an area of approximately 2 million square meters and utilize a total of 325,080 bifacial solar panels produced at the Kalyon PV factory. The project aims to generate an estimated 275,000 MWh of electricity annually, meeting the daily electricity needs of around 75,000 households (approximately 300,000 people).

Bor Solar Power Plant helps reduce environmental footprint by preventing approximately 180,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

Viranşehir SPP

Viranşehir SPP
Following the YEKA-4 Viranşehir-Erzin competition on June 28, 2022, Kalyon Enerji was awarded the right to develop the Viranşehir-5 SPP, Viranşehir-7 SPP, and Viranşehir-8 SPP projects, each with a capacity of 50 MWe.

These three plants will have a final combined installed capacity of 195 MWp, and feature 488,000 photovoltaic modules on an area of 2.7 million square meters. The plants are scheduled to reach full capacity by 2024 with an estimated annual electricity production of over 390,000 MWh, meeting the daily electricity needs of approximately 110,000 households (approximately 440,000 people).
This will prevent approximately 255,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. The project will play a vital role in meeting the region’s agricultural energy needs through clean, affordable, and domestic resources. It will also contribute to the local economy and employment opportunities.

Gaziantep SPP

Gaziantep SPP
Our company plans to complete the construction of a 65 MWp solar power plant in Gaziantep, a city of significant historical importance, by the end of 2023. Under the scope of YEKA-3 SPP competitions, Kalyon Enerji secured the rights to Gaziantep-1 (20 MWe), Gaziantep-2 (20 MWe), and Gaziantep-3 (10 MWe) power plants. Suitable locations have been identified for these three power plants, and the YEKA announcement has been published in the Official Gazette.

The project will utilize over 165,000 highly localized PV modules. Using a single-axis solar tracking system, the project is expected to generate approximately 130,000 MWh of electricity annually, meeting the daily electricity needs of approximately 40,000 households (approximately 160,000 people) and preventing approximately 100,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
