VITRA TILES GENERATED 60% OF ITS ELECTRICITY FROM SOLAR POWER

• VitrA Tiles’ Solar Power Plant, commissioned last year in Aksaray, generated more than 60% of the electricity used in the company's Turkish operations. The Aksaray Solar Power Plant, with a production equivalent to the annual consumption of more than 20,000 households, prevented the emission of more than 38,000 tons in its first year.

VitrA Tiles, a subsidiary of the Eczacıbaşı Group, has completed the first year of operation of its Solar Power Plant (SPP) in Aksaray. With this investment, VitrA Tiles now meets more than 60% of the electricity consumed in its Turkish operations from SPPs, contributing to the strengthening of its renewable energy-based production model.

The Aksaray Solar Power Plant, which started generating electricity in February 2025 and has an installed capacity of 30 MWe/36 MWp, stands out as one of VitrA Tiles’ largest investments in renewable energy. The transformation, which began with the rooftop solar power plant commissioned at its production facility in Bozüyük district of Bilecik in 2023, gained momentum and expanded its scope with the Aksaray investment. Thus, VitrA Tiles has passed an important threshold in its energy transformation strategy, reinforcing its leading position in the sector.

A tangible transformation success

VitrA Tiles’ CEO Mert Karasu said the following in his assessment of the first year of the investment: “The results we achieved in the first year of our Solar Power Plant demonstrate our commitment to our sustainability pledges. By generating more than 60% of the electricity we use in our Turkish operations from our own renewable energy plant, we have made significant progress towards our goals. This investment is a strong indicator of our commitment to transitioning to a low-carbon production model. We will continue our work in line with our goal of meeting all our electricity needs from our own renewable energy facilities by 2030.”

The Aksaray Solar Power Plant, consisting of a total of 65,520 PV modules, demonstrated a strong performance in its first year, generating 61,626 MWh of energy, equivalent to the annual electricity needs of over 20,000 households. During the same period, the plant prevented the emission of 38,467 tons of CO₂e, contributing to the strengthening of the renewable energy-based production model. The production and emission reduction data show that the investment has produced measurable environmental outputs in its first year.
