VitrA Tiles has officially brought its Aksaray solar power plant into full operation, reaffirming its dedication to sustainable energy solutions.
As a key brand within the Eczacıbaşı Group, VitrA Tiles continues its transition towards renewable energy sources. The completion of the Aksaray Solar Power Plant (SPP) follows the 3.5 MW rooftop solar plant commissioned in Bozüyük in 2023. With a 30 MWe/36 MWp capacity, this investment ensures that more than half of the electricity used in its Turkish operations this year will come from green energy sources.
Powering the Future with Renewable Energy
The Aksaray SPP will generate enough electricity to power approximately 19,700 households per year. Featuring 65,520 PV modules, each with a 550 Wp capacity, the facility will significantly contribute to reducing carbon emissions by 37,190 tonnes annually.
VitrA Tiles CEO Mert Karasu expressed the company’s commitment to sustainability, 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.”
Installation of the Aksaray SPP began in April 2024, with electricity generation commencing in February 2025 after the completion of PV modules, inverters, transformers, cabling, and power transmission lines. This project not only enhances environmental sustainability but also strengthens VitrA Tiles’ leadership in the renewable energy sector.
