Renewable Energy Investments

Solar Power Plant (SPP) – Land-Based and Rooftop SPP Investments

Solar Power Plants (SPPs) are systems specifically designed to serve as alternatives to fossil fuels, such as natural gas and coal, by converting solar radiation into electrical energy.

Our Bank finances both licensed and unlicensed land-based and rooftop solar power plants, utilizing foreign currency resources secured from supranational development organizations.

Investments in Rooftop SPPs enable enterprises to generate their own electricity for self-consumption. This capability enables businesses to meet their long-term energy needs through solar power, thereby reducing operational costs while contributing to the production of eco-friendly renewable energy. Furthermore, within defined regulatory frameworks, firms that produce energy in excess of their self-consumption can sell the surplus electricity back to the grid.

As the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye, we provide comprehensive financing solutions for both Land-Based and Rooftop SPP projects in line with sustainable and clean energy initiatives. In this regard, we assist businesses in decreasing their operational expenditures and minimizing their environmental impact.

Notably, as the first bank in Türkiye to finance a licensed SPP project, we continue to lead the way in supporting renewable energy investments.

Self-Consumption Power Plant Investments

Self-consumption power plants are facilities established by enterprises, either on their factory rooftops or on dedicated land parcels, specifically for generating energy for their own operations.

The primary objective of these plants is to achieve energy savings by harnessing energy from natural resources, thereby maximizing resource efficiency and minimizing operational costs. These systems offer strategic advantages, including reduced reliance on the national grid, protection against long-term fluctuations in electricity prices, and—through the incorporation of energy storage solutions—mitigation of risks associated with potential power outages.

As the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye, our objective is to promote the efficient use of national resources and to minimize carbon emissions by supporting self-consumption energy production. Through energy-focused credit facilities provided by international funding institutions, we empower investors to generate the energy necessary for their commercial operations at optimized costs.

Distributed Energy Generation Investments

Distributed Energy Generation (DEG) refers to modular, decentralized power generation facilities located at or near the point of consumption that employ renewable energy sources.

This model of distributed generation empowers organizations to generate clean, reliable energy from various sources, including hydro, solar, wind, and geothermal. A key advantage of this approach is the minimization of transmission and distribution losses inherent in traditional centralized grids. By alleviating the demand placed on large-scale centralized power plants, distributed generation facilities help mitigate the overall environmental impact of the national power infrastructure.

As the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye, we facilitate the realization of projects through specialized funding dedicated to distributed energy investments. We allocate our financial resources to expand our country’s distributed generation capacity, thereby supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy and driving the clean energy transformation.

To prioritize sustainable growth, we offer a robust resource structure for systems designed to store energy generated by Distributed Energy Generation facilities. Our support for investments in Energy Storage Systems helps preserve surplus energy and integrate it seamlessly into the economy through advanced storage technologies. Furthermore, we provide credit facilities that empower investors to optimize the utilization of national resources while implementing environmentally friendly production technologies.

Wind Power Plant (WPP) Investments

Wind Power Plants (WPPs) are advanced systems designed to convert wind kinetic energy into electrical power using wind turbines.

As a leading renewable energy source, wind power offers an inexhaustible, indigenous, and clean energy supply. By harnessing this domestic resource, we can reduce dependence on energy imports while simultaneously fostering local employment opportunities.

Since its establishment, the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye has played a pivotal role in financing a variety of wind power plant projects, thereby actively promoting the generation of domestic and clean energy. Furthermore, we continue to set industry benchmarks, notably by financing projects featuring the world’s longest wind turbine blades, thereby marking yet another milestone in our history of leadership within the sector.

Geothermal Power Plant (GPP) Investment

Geothermal energy is the thermal energy generated and stored within the Earth, brought to the surface through water and/or steam extracted from various depths of the Earth's crust. Geothermal Power Plants (GPP) are specialized systems designed to convert this captured thermal energy into electrical power.

As a sustainable energy source, geothermal energy produces zero carbon emissions and does not contribute to air pollution, making it an essential alternative to conventional power generation.

In recent years, electricity generation from geothermal sources in Türkiye has witnessed significant growth. Consequently, Türkiye has achieved the distinction of being the leading nation in Europe and fourth globally in geothermal power production.

We offer customized financing solutions for investments in geothermal power plants by leveraging specialized funds acquired from supranational markets. Furthermore, we actively engage in funding innovative geothermal projects, including hybrid power plants, and facilities intended for direct applications such as residential heating and greenhouse farming.
