A hydroelectric power plant is an environmentally friendly energy production source. Electricity is generated using the energy from the natural movement of water, which minimizes harmful gas emissions into the atmosphere. Additionally, the renewable nature of water as a resource ensures that energy production is continuous and sustainable.

The Göngele Hydroelectric Power Plant, which was commissioned before June 30, 2021, is entitled to benefit from YEKDEM (Renewable Energy Support Mechanism) until the year 2030 (with additional domestic contribution at an additional price until 2026), and its license expiration date is June 17, 2070.

Solar energy power plants are a profitable energy source in terms of construction, operation costs, and efficiency. For these reasons, they are widely used. In terms of minimal environmental impact, it is considered one of the future energy production systems.

Solar power plants are a profitable energy solution in terms of construction-operation costs and efficiency. For these reasons, they are widely used. Being minimally harmful to nature, they are among the energy production systems of the future.
