Sustainable Development Goals

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

156,000 MWh

of clean energy generated on average annually with wind energy

8. Decent work and economic growth

12 permanent jobs

plus 84 temporary jobs created, boosting the local economy

13. Climate Action

75,000 tonnes of CO2e

reduced on average each year by preventing methane from entering the atmosphere

The Solution

Located in eastern Turkey, this bundled wind power project has a 50 MW capacity with 16 turbines spanning several hilltops and multiple villages across the district. By powering homes in the surrounding area with renewable wind power, Koru Wind Power displaces fossil fuel generated energy. As a result, the project reduces emissions by over 80,000 tCO2e every year, and stimulates the growth of wind power infrastructure in Turkey.

The Impact

Beyond creating sustainable energy and displacing carbon emissions from traditional fossil fuel energy methods, this project also creates a range of economic and social benefits for surrounding communities. Jobs have been created for both the construction and the ongoing maintenance of the plant, as the Koru Wind Power Plant continues to employ workers from surrounding villages. In addition, the quality of employment is improved, as local workers are trained in specialist operational knowledge.
