What happened
The Kalyon Karapınar YEKA-1 Solar Power Plant, located in Konya, Turkey, is one of Europe's largest solar farms. Operational since 2023, the facility utilizes over 3 million solar panels and generates enough electricity annually to meet about 0.7% of Turkey’s power demand. The plant prevents approximately 1.75 million metric tons of carbon emissions each year.

Why it matters
The solar farm highlights Turkey's efforts to expand renewable energy, with solar and wind currently accounting for nearly 23% of electricity generation. However, the country's Energy Ministry reports that coal remained the largest source of electricity last year, making up 33% of generation.
