The Muğla Metropolitan Municipality has inaugurated the Denizova Solar Power Plant. The municipality will continue its investments in wind and solar power plants in the coming period.
The Menteşe Denizova Solar Power Plant has an installed capacity of 5 MWe (6.22 MWp) and will produce 9.3 million kWh of electricity annually. The energy produced by 11,360 solar panels, each with a power of 550 watts, will be sufficient to meet the needs of 3,320 households annually. The plant is expected to generate electricity worth approximately 20 million TL annually, eliminating carbon emissions equivalent to what 340,000 trees would absorb.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Muğla Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Aras stated that Muğla is one of the cities in Turkey with the highest average sunlight hours. He said, "The sun is a symbol of existence and life. We always open the way for methods that are respectful to nature and the environment and that we can reproduce with our own natural resources. The investment we are inaugurating today is one of those. Here, we are eliminating carbon emissions equivalent to what 340,000 trees would absorb. The oxygen produced by these 340,000 trees will be a legacy for our future. This facility also meets the electricity needs of 3,230 households with an average monthly electricity consumption of 240 kW. If you consider that each household has an average of five people, this facility will supply electricity to 15,000 people," he said.
"MUSKI Will Source Its Energy from Renewable Energy Sources"
Yılmaz Şengül, General Manager of Muğla Water and Sewerage Administration (MUSKI), stated that they plan to meet all the energy they use from renewable energy sources. He said, "We have completed a challenging process that has been ongoing since 2022. Here, we will meet a minimum of 10% of MUSKI's electricity needs for the next 30 years. We will also implement other stages of this project. Our goal is to meet all of MUSKI's electricity needs from renewable energy sources, and our discussions on this matter are ongoing," he said.
