We continue to make a strong contribution to the clean energy transformation in our country with our electricity generation entirely from renewable energy sources. In the transportation sector, which is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions after the energy sector, the electrification of vehicle fleets and the dissemination of electric vehicle charging stations as a critical infrastructure started a new clean transformation process. As Borusan EnBW Enerji, we are experiencing the great excitement of investing in a new lane where we will adopt a customer experience-oriented service approach with the support of our shareholders’ experience and expertise. With the investment of more than 2030 billion TL in our electric vehicle charging station network until 5, we aim to be one of the effective operators with a widespread fast charging network in this sector.”
