For Organik Kimya, the road to a more sustainable future has been paved with bold investments and long-term commitments. Laying the foundations of its solar power plant investment in 2024 and completing it in 2025, Organik Kimya entered the new year with renewable energy at the core of its operations. The company’s latest step is the completion of a large-scale solar power plant in Türkiye — a milestone project that will allow Organik Kimya to fully power its operations with renewable energy while contributing to the country’s green energy transformation.
The decision to build a land-based solar power plant (GES) came after carefully evaluating alternatives. Unlike rooftop installations, the chosen model offers the scale to secure all of Organik Kimya’s production needs. As the first phase of the project, the solar power plant was built on 125 decares of a 194-decare (approximately 20 hectares) land in the Keskin district of Kırıkkale province, Türkiye, with an installed capacity of 11,196 kWp / 8,600 kWe. Completed in summer 2025, the plant is now actively generating around 19,000 MWh of clean electricity annually. This production is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 6,900 households or 22,000 people, with surplus energy supplied back into the national grid.
But for Organik Kimya, renewable energy is not a new story. Back in 2017, the company’s Rotterdam plant switched entirely to certified renewable electricity, making it an early pioneer in sustainable manufacturing. Today, that pioneering spirit continues to guide investments like the Keskin district solar project.
“Energy is at the heart of everything we do — from developing innovative polymers to delivering them reliably to customers worldwide,” said Tansel Özyönüm, COO. “By investing in renewable energy, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also ensuring that our growth creates shared value for our customers, communities, and the planet.”
More Than an Energy Project
Beyond securing clean energy, the new solar power plant significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and strengthens the company’s ability to operate sustainably for decades to come. It also enhances supply security, helping customers plan with confidence while partnering with a producer that takes concrete action on climate responsibility.
From being one of the first in the industry to adopt renewable electricity in Europe back in 2017, to now developing one of the largest land-based solar investments in Türkiye, Organik Kimya continues to write its sustainability story with ambition and action — proving that industrial innovation and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.
