VitrA Tiles has officially put its Aksaray solar power plant into operation, reinforcing its commitment to renewable energy and sustainability.
As a key brand within the Eczacıbaşı Group, VitrA Tiles remains dedicated to increasing its use of clean energy. The Aksaray Solar Power Plant (SPP), which follows the launch of a 3.5 MW rooftop solar power plant in Bozüyük in 2023, has a 30 MWe/36 MWp capacity. This latest development will enable more than half of the electricity used in its Turkish operations this year to come from renewable sources.
Harnessing Solar Power for a Greener Tomorrow
The Aksaray SPP will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of approximately 19,700 households per year. The facility is fitted with 65,520 PV modules, each with a 550 Wp capacity, and will contribute to reducing carbon emissions by 37,190 tonnes annually.
VitrA Tiles CEO Mert Karasu reaffirmed the company’s ambitious sustainability vision, stating: “We aim to produce half of our electricity consumption from our own renewable energy facilities by 2025 and all of it by 2030 and thanks to this investment, we are one step closer to our global goals by further reducing our carbon footprint. We are committed to meeting all our electricity needs from renewable sources in the future.”
Work on the Aksaray SPP commenced in April 2024, with electricity generation beginning in February 2025 after the completion of PV module installations, inverter setup, transformer integration, and power transmission lines. This initiative not only benefits the environment but also strengthens VitrA Tiles’ role as a leader in renewable energy innovation.
