Collaboration in solar energy between Enerjisa Energy and Sabancı University

Enerjisa Enerji, under the umbrella of ‘The Energy of My Job’, has reduced the carbon emissions of the university by installing more than 2,000 panels on the Sabancı University campus with the GES they have established.

Focusing on sustainability at the core of its strategy, Enerjisa Enerji produces projects with a focus on human and technology to contribute to a smarter and greener world. Enerjisa Enerji and Sabancı University came together for a sustainable campus application. Enerjisa Enerji, as part of ‘The Energy of My Job’, implemented a sample application of Solar Power Plant (GES) project at Sabancı University this time. In addition to the installation and operation of Solar Power Plants, Enerjisa Enerji will also provide maintenance, repair, and continuous monitoring services to support the high performance of the plant throughout the contract period.

As two leading institutions in the education and energy sectors, Enerjisa Enerji and Sabancı University have established solar power plants to meet the university’s self-consumption needs in order to support Turkey’s renewable energy transformation and therefore the zero-carbon target. This way, savings will be achieved in the campus energy consumption with GES projects, reducing carbon emissions and promoting the use of renewable energy. With the GES projects, energy consumption of the campus will be supported while saving on energy, and the transition to renewable energy will be accelerated with sustainable and savings-focused end-to-end solutions such as cogeneration plants previously commissioned on the same campus and Eşarj electric vehicle charging stations, which are a hundred percent subsidiary of Enerjisa Enerji.

The company had previously established a cogeneration plant within Sabancı University in 2015 and later a charging station for electric vehicles with Eşarj inside the university campus.

Approximately 1,450 MWh of clean energy will be generated annually on the roofs of campus buildings. The company will generate approximately 1,450 MWh of clean energy annually with the GES installed on the campus. This will prevent over 945 tons of carbon emissions annually, contributing to a sustainable future. With the implemented GES project, it is expected that the facility will produce an average of 34,000 MWh of renewable energy over a period of 25 years, supporting the university’s annual energy consumption with GES installations on nine different roofs.

“We have brought renewable energy technologies together with our bright tomorrows”

Murat Pınar, the CEO of Enerjisa Enerji, stated that they work decisively to achieve their sustainability goals, make a difference, and set an example for the society. He said, “Today, the world faces a serious threat due to climate change. If we do not reduce carbon emissions, it will become even more difficult for us to reach almost all of our basic life resources, from food to the air we breathe. We must take action as soon as possible to realize the transformation to renewable energy and take action to protect nature and stop the climate crisis. As Enerjisa Enerji, we are strengthening our investments in renewable energy technology day by day, and it is clear that a large part of electricity will be generated from renewable energy sources in the future. By putting our hands under the stone to fight climate change, we have brought our understanding of sustainability and holistic perspective to the bright tomorrows of our country and university campuses through our collaboration with Sabancı University. Our collaboration with Sabancı University is pleasing for all of us in terms of contributing to our sustainability goal. I thank all my colleagues who contributed to this.”

“We will continue to take determined steps towards achieving the ‘Net Zero’ goal”

Yusuf Leblebici, the Rector of Sabancı University, emphasized that Sabancı University leads in sustainable energy production and usage. He said, “As an example of the direct impact of the successful international scientific research studies being carried out at our university on our daily lives, we are very pleased that this project has been realized. As a university, we always prioritize the contribution of scientific research to society and the economy. In this context, we hope that this plant, established in cooperation with Enerjisa Enerji on the roofs of many of our campus buildings, will serve as an example for similar studies. In the coming years, we will continue to take determined steps towards meeting a significant portion of our campus’s energy needs from sustainable sources and achieving the ‘net-zero’ goal. Our students and all our employees will be proud to work on a campus that pioneers in sustainable energy.”

Information about the solutions and products within the scope of ‘The Energy of My Job’ was provided:

“Operating GES projects by offsetting the energy produced with the self-consumption approach stands out as one of the effective renewable technologies for reducing carbon footprint. Through this installation, end-to-end services will be provided to customers to take advantage of the efficiency, low energy costs, and reduced carbon emissions offered by solar energy by lightening the investment burden. On the other hand, these solar plant investments also make significant contributions to sustainability and energy supply security.

The company provides green energy produced from renewable energy sources, accredited by internationally recognized institutions, and can be transparently reported and certified. With Carbon Reduction Certificate and Renewable Energy Certificate, greenhouse gas emissions from electricity consumption of the facilities are reduced or brought to a neutral level. In this context, the company offers consumption analysis, determination of green energy ratio, certificate selection, protocol signing, and reporting services depending on the certificate type.”
