Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Dr. Memduh Büyükkılıç continues to break new ground with his investments and projects in the field of transportation in Kayseri. The Metropolitan Municipality, which has implemented the first Wind Power Plant (RES) project in Türkiye's public transportation sector, has also made Kayseri the only city that meets 40 percent of its public transportation passengers from clean energy with its Solar Power Plants (SPP).
This important project, which started with the shipment of 80 giant turbines departing from Izmir Alsancak Port, was planned as a sustainable energy investment in the field of transportation, both in terms of energy and a clean environment, and was recorded as a giant RES rising to 194,5 meters and the size of a 65-story building.
The First and Only Project in Public Transportation with Clean Energy in Türkiye
In line with the understanding of clean energy and clean future, the RES project, which is one of the important steps for the energy future of Turkey and Kayseri, was quickly implemented. The RES project, consisting of 21 3 megawatt turbines, aims to generate 60 million kilowatt/hours of electricity annually. This project, which is described as the first project in Türkiye's public transportation sector in renewable, clean and environmentally friendly electricity production, has made Kayseri the only city that meets 40 percent of its public transportation passengers from clean energy.
Contribution to Clean Energy with Two Solar Power Plants within the Ulasim Inc.
In addition to the GES with 1200 kilowatts of installed power and 2 solar panels on the roof of the Organized Rail System Warehouse and Operation Center, which was implemented by the Metropolitan Municipality Transportation Inc. to meet the energy needs of electric buses, the GES project with 132 kilowatts of installed power and 600 solar panels in the Ildem Tram Park Area produces a total of approximately 1140 megawatts of installed power and 2 million kilowatt hours of electrical energy annually, which is used to charge electric buses.
