Türkiye continues its renewable energy investments without slowing down in order to ensure energy supply security and reduce foreign dependency. It was opened with the participation of the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar and the Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır. Kalyon PV TOPCONPlus Solar Panel Production Facilitybegins a new era in domestic energy technologies. With this facility, Türkiye aims to be at the top in terms of installed capacity in solar energy, leaving hydraulic energy behind by the end of this year.

• TOPCONPlus Technology:With TOPCONPlus, one of the world’s most advanced solar panel technologies, more electricity production and higher efficiency are achieved from the same area.

• Record Capacity in Solar Energy:While Turkey’s solar energy installed power reaches 26 thousand 500 megawatts, solar is expected to rise to the first place in total installed power by the end of the year.

• Huge Investment Goals:While it is planned to exceed 120 thousand megawatts in wind and solar by 2035, an investment of 80 billion dollars is envisaged in this process.

Quiet Revolution in Renewable Energy: 125 Thousand Megawatt Limit Exceeded

Türkiye’s energy policies have been built on a new architecture focused on digitalization and flexibility in recent years. Minister Alparslan Bayraktar, Türkiye’s total installed capacity as of March 125 thousand megawattsHe gave good news that he had overcome it. The fact that the journey, which started from zero in wind and solar energy, has now reached over 41 thousand megawatts, shows Turkey’s determination in energy transformation.

Solar energy stands out as the most powerful locomotive of this transformation. The 26 thousand 500 megawatt capacity reached with the progress made in the last 13 years constitutes a critical step towards making Türkiye the energy base of the region. According to the Ministry’s projections, solar energy will surpass hydraulic power by the end of this year, becoming Turkey’s largest installed electricity power source.

New Standards in Productivity with TOPCONPlus

The inaugurated Kalyon PV production facility is more than just a panel factory, it is an integrated technology base. The most striking feature of the facility is TOPCONPlusswitching to technology. So why is this technology so important?

This system, which traditional has much higher efficiency rates than panels, minimizes the electron loss of solar cells and exhibits high performance even in lower light conditions. Thanks to these panels produced with domestic resources, much more electricity is obtained from the same surface area in solar farms. This both reduces installation costs and maximizes the profit from unit area. Commissioned with the new investment 1.1 gigawatts of additional capacity, the total production power of the facility 2.1 gigawattstakes it out.

Localization Movement and Economic Contribution

Localization efforts within the scope of the National Energy and Mining Policy continue to bear fruit. According to current data, the components used in solar power plants in Türkiye 75 percentand components such as towers and generators in wind power plants. over 70 percent localrate was reached.

Since 2014, the government has provided approximately 41 billion lira local contribution fee supportprovided. These supports enable Türkiye to become a country that not only produces energy but also develops the technology that produces energy. In the future, the 2 thousand megawatt giant power plants to be established in Sivas and Karaman regions within the framework of the agreements made with Saudi Arabia will be fed by this domestic technology ecosystem.

2035 Target: 80 Billion Dollar Investment Projection

Türkiye’s energy vision is not limited to short-term goals. It is planned to increase the wind and solar installed capacity to over 120 thousand megawatts by 2035. The amount of investment required approximately for this massive transformation is 80 billion dollarsIt is calculated as . Minister Bayraktar states that these goals can be carried forward and a more ambitious road map will be presented to the world at the COP31 summit to be held in Antalya.

The new capacity of 3,500 megawatts allocated to industrialists in January also increases the appetite of investors. The energy infrastructure, which has been digitalized and made more resistant to crises, provides an advantage in global competition by supporting Türkiye’s industrial production with green energy.
