Eksim Energy CEO Arkın Akbay: "Our Goal is to Prevent 4 Million Tons of Carbon Emission"

Eksim Energy prevented 1.3 million tons of carbon emissions last year within the scope of its efforts to reduce carbon emissions through environmentally friendly energy production.

Eksim Energy, whose entire portfolio consists of environmentally and sustainability-oriented renewable energy power plants, aims to prevent a total of 4 million tons of carbon emissions annually by the end of 2025 with its new investments.

Eksim Energy Chief Executive (CEO) Arkın Akbay said that it is of great importance to accelerate renewable resources in order to prevent emissions from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, and that there is great potential in Turkey, especially in hydraulic, solar, wind, geothermal and biomass energy production. He stated:

'Renewable energy, which provides maximum social and environmental contribution with the most economical financing sources, needs to increase against the danger of complete depletion of resources in the very near future. At this point, as Eksim Energy, we believe that green energy is the most important power to prevent the negative impact of global climate change and to leave a livable world to future generations without disturbing the ecological balance.'

Stating that they prevented approximately 1.3 million tons of carbon emissions by producing approximately 2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity last year, Akbay stated that they will implement projects that will reduce annual carbon emissions by 4 million tons by 2025 and in this context, they contribute to the 2053 net zero emission target.

Akbay said, 'With the YEKDEM incentive mechanism, our state has paved the way for the growth of renewable energy capacity. We are expanding our knowledge, which we have gained in the power plants we established during this period, by investing in renewable energy resource areas. We offer electrical energy to our consumers from the most economical sources. We also rolled up our sleeves to commission the new solar and wind power plant licenses in our portfolio. 'We are commissioning our new projects with an investment of 350 million dollars for 6 wind power plant licenses with a total size of 260 megawatts.' made his assessment.

Eksim Energy, which produced 4 percent of the electricity produced from wind energy in Turkey last year and contributed 4 percent in the first half of this year, has 8 wind power plants in Turkey with a total installed power of 464 megawatts.

The company continues to strengthen its renewable energy portfolio with 162 megawatts of installed power and 3 power plants it operates, 1 in Turkey with 63 megawatts and 2 in Georgia with a total of 99 megawatts.
