HASAN KILCA: WE ARE ABOUT TO REACH OUR TARGETS ON RENEWABLE ENERGY

İHSAN BOSTANCI: THE SENSITIVITY OF OUR MUNICIPALITY ABOUT ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS APPRECIATED

Karatay Municipality, which has implemented important projects in the fields of renewable and green energy and Zero Waste so far, has taken another important step in this context. Karatay Municipality has signed a contract with MEVKA that aims to use the energy it uses in all its service buildings and facilities more efficiently. Karatay Mayor Hasan Kılca stated that they produce projects that meet the energy from the sun as much as they consume as a municipality; “We have taken a great distance in achieving our goals in this area. We also attach great importance to the contract aimed at more efficient use of the energy we produce,” he said.

The issue of energy, which has been at the top of the world agenda for the last three years and has gained even more importance, especially with the pandemic, is one of the areas that Karatay Municipality also focuses on with sensitivity.

In this context, Karatay Municipality, which has installed two solar energy panels so far and equipped the roofs of the last two indoor bazaars it has brought to the district with solar energy panels, has also taken an important step towards the efficient use of the energy produced from these panels.

With the contract signed between Karatay Municipality and Mevlana Development Agency (MEVKA), a detailed study will be carried out Decisively to make the energy used in all service buildings and facilities belonging to the municipality much more efficient. The decisions revealed by the detailed study carried out later will be implemented by the municipality immediately.

Karatay Mayor Hasan Kılca and MEVKA Secretary General İhsan Bostancı signed the contract in the program organized. Karatay Mayor Hasan Kılca emphasized the importance of the contract they signed with MEVKA in his speech at the signing ceremony.

WE ARE ABOUT TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS ON GREEN AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

President Hasan Kılca said, "With the pandemic, energy and food, in particular, have gained strategic importance for all countries in the world. As Karatay Municipality, we will also carry out work with the support of Mevlana Development Agency on energy efficiency. Together with the contract we signed today, we will act jointly in relation to energy efficiency, energy measurement and other energy works. Karatay Municipality has two solar power plants and we, as a municipality, meet an important part of our energy needs from these power plants. We have also equipped the roofs of our two new indoor bazaars that we have brought to our district with solar energy panels. We had a goal to meet the amount of energy we consume from the sun. With these projects, we have achieved this goal to a great extent. We will have new projects on Zero Waste, Green Energy and Renewable Energy. We also care about the contract we signed with MEVKA in this context,” .

THE SENSITIVITY OF OUR MUNICIPALITY ABOUT ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS APPRECIATED

Mevlana Development Agency (MEVKA) Secretary General İhsan Bostanci, like Mayor Hasan Kılca, identified food and energy as two important areas that have increased in importance in recent years. İhsan Bostancı underlined that energy is a priority issue for the whole world and emphasized that the contract signed with Karatay Municipality is important in this context.

Bostancı concluded his words as follows;"Rather than the production of energy, it has become extremely important to be able to use the energy produced much more efficiently and to get more efficiency from unit energy. In this context, as MEVKA, we support the projects carried out by both public institutions and organizations, local governments and the private sector in this area. With the contract we signed with Karatay Municipality today, it will be revealed how the energy used in the service buildings and facilities of the municipality is consumed and what improvements will be made, and the decisions that will arise will be put into practice. I would like to thank our Karatay Municipality, which applied to MEVKA and acted sensitively on energy efficiency.”
