When proceeding, we had the idea to work harder for Karatay, to produce more, and to bring Karatay to the future it deserves. Our provision was love, sincerity, effort, and excitement. Today, in our 130th week of taking office, we are more than happy to make our 90th investment. Nowadays, when the increasing energy costs and decreasing energy resources are evaluated together, the importance of renewable energy sources is increasing day by day. Turkey is one of the countries with the highest solar energy efficiency. Konya is one of the most productive cities. We, the municipality, turn this into an opportunity and generate an average of 2500 MVH of energy per year from the Solar Power Plants which we have established in Tatlıcak and Saraçoğlu neighbourhoods. Today, we laid the foundations of our two marketplaces to enable our tradesmen to trade in comfortable areas and to offer our citizens the opportunity to shop under more hygienic and healthy conditions. Our Kalenderhane and Büyüksinan Marketplaces, which have a closed area of 4,650 square meters in total, cost approximately TRY 21 million. The feature that distinguishes our marketplaces from others is to equip their roofs with solar energy panels. We have placed two Solar Power Plants with 600 kWh of power on the roofs of our marketplaces, whose annual contribution we foresee will be TRY 520.000 in total. With our two marketplace projects, we will both generate electricity and contribute to the shopping comfort for our citizens and tradesmen.”
THERE WILL BE NO OPEN MARKETPLACE IN KARATAY WITH TWO PROJECTS
The use of renewable energy sources makes significant gains in terms of sustainability, environment, and economy. We, the Karatay Municipality, continue to produce eco-friendly projects by using the potential of renewable energy sources. It is a valuable service for our district, city, and country for being a clean, eco-friendly, renewable, and efficient energy source. Our understanding of duty and responsibility does not include cover today. We think about our future from today, and we are working with this understanding. In this context, we are proud to lay the foundations of our new generation marketplaces with functional energy. When these marketplaces are completed, there will be no open marketplace in Karatay. I wish all the best to our Büyüksinan, and Kalenderhane marketplaces to be beneficial to our tradesmen, citizens, and our district.”.”

I believe that these projects will be a model for future projects. We, the Metropolitan Municipality, continue to meet the needs of our citizens with the vision of being the municipality of hearts, together with our other municipalities.
