Our country’s biggest “customer” in terms of export volume, as well as our addressee to which we make commitments as a candidate country, is the European Union. The Union has clearly drawn the framework of green transformation with the European Green Consensus and the implementations are continuing rapidly. However, a statement by Frans Timmermans, Vice President of the European Commission, in his speech in January, summed up the issue clearly for both us and the EU: “The Carbon Customs Duty at the Border is a matter of life and death for us.” Studies show that this practice can bring an additional burden of around 2 billion USD per year to our country! Although it is not enough on its own, rooftop solar power plants (Roof SPP) will be a pioneering shield for our industrialists. Independence in the energy provided by the Roof SPPs to its investors, In addition to the benefits such as not being affected by electricity price increases and short depreciation, the benefit of “the first step to decarbonization” has become indisputable. Thanks to attractive loan-financing options and simplified legal regulations, it has become very easy to own Roof SPPs, which can pay for itself in 4-5 years, as if paying an electricity bill. Subsequently, the clean energy obtained from the sun and the blocked CO2 can be documented with the right methods and used as a key to the relevant institutions. Of course, this method alone is not enough! Rapid steps will also need to be taken in areas such as waste management, water saving, efficiency in production and energy consumption, and digital transformation.
