Due to a renovation investment of 520 million euros, Hamitabat Electricity Generation and Trade Corp. (HEAŞ) has increased its efficiency level to 61%. This investment has resulted in a substantial improvement in Türkiye’s natural resource consumption and has contributed to reducing the country’s energy import expenses.
Ensuring energy supply in the Marmara Region with its strategic location, high reliability, and availability, HEAŞ increased its installed capacity to 1,220 MW in 2018. The net production volume for 2024 was 5.724 billion kWh.
In 2024, voluntary disclosures on Water Security and Climate Change were completed under the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), with a Water Security score of B. The carbon footprint was verified by an independent TÜRKAK – accredited organization in accordance with ISO 14064-1. Additionally, the Energy Management System was certified under the Integrated Management System in accordance with ISO 50001.
Water recovery projects implemented in 2024 saved 95,000 cubic meters of demineralized water. New opportunities to reduce water consumption will continue to be explored in 2025.
HEAŞ completed 2024 without any lost-time work accidents and launched the “visit.hamitabat” online platform to raise awareness among all on-site stakeholders about health and safety standards. All visiting suppliers were also trained on occupational health and safety as well as Limak’s Code of Business Conduct.
Construction began in September 2024 on a 9.4 MW Solar Energy System Electricity Generation Project, aimed at reducing the carbon footprint from electricity consumption and meeting internal energy needs with renewable sources. The electricity production license was amended for the Hybrid Electricity Production Model, and an “Enviromental Impact Assessment Not Required” decision was obtained. The prject, located within the production site, is targeted to be operational by the first half of 2025.
The Presidential Office of Digital Transformation’s Information and Communication Security compliance process, initiated in line with Jully 2020 guidelines, was integrated into existing processes and successfully passed its first audit in early 2023. Renewal audits in December 2023 and December 2024 further reduced risks and maintained compliance.
Operating since 1986 as a symbol of Kırklareli and the Republic’s first natural gas combined cycle power plant, HEAŞ aims to sustain its role in the Turkish energy market with a focus on high efficiency, social impact, and environmental awareness in line with the Sustainable Development Goals.
