Karpaz Solar Energy Project

Towards a More Sustainable Future with Clean Energy
The 3 MW solar energy project developed by Arkın Group in the Karpaz region is a renewable energy initiative planned to support the environmental sustainability goals of the Group’s companies and Arkin University of Creative Arts and Design (ARUCAD). The project aims to contribute to reducing the carbon footprints of Arkın Group companies and ARUCAD by increasing the use of renewable energy sources, while supporting long-term efforts towards carbon neutrality.

Investment in Clean Energy in Karpaz
Developed in the Karpaz region, known for its natural richness and beauty, the project aims to generate electricity from solar energy with an installed capacity of 3 MW.

Solar energy is a renewable energy source that produces no direct greenhouse gas emissions during electricity generation and plays an important role in the transition towards low-carbon energy systems. This investment is considered part of Arkın Group’s approach to adopting renewable energy sources and reducing the environmental impact of its operations.

A Shared Goal of Reducing Carbon Footprints
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions resulting from energy consumption is a key component of institutional sustainability strategies and an important part of tackling climate change. The Karpaz Solar Energy Project aims to contribute to the development of more sustainable solutions to meet the energy needs of companies operating across different sectors within Arkın Group, as well as ARUCAD.

Through renewable energy generation, the project is expected to support efforts to reduce the Group’s overall carbon footprint and represent an important step towards its long-term carbon neutrality goals. This approach also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to clean energy, sustainable infrastructure and climate action.

ARUCAD and Its Vision for Sustainability
Arkin University of Creative Arts and Design (ARUCAD) considers sustainability one of the fundamental elements of its approach to education, research, creative production and social responsibility. Through its interdisciplinary approach to education, the University supports the development of individuals who are sensitive to environmental challenges, capable of developing sustainable solutions and equipped to contribute to social transformation.

ARUCAD’s commitment to sustainable development is also reflected in international assessments. In the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2026, the University was included in international rankings across several categories in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. When considered alongside ARUCAD’s academic approach to sustainability, Arkın Group’s initiative in renewable energy highlights the importance of addressing environmental responsibility across different fields, from education to energy investments.

Towards a Sustainable Future
A sustainable future requires not only reducing environmental impact but also using resources responsibly and developing long-term solutions. The Karpaz Solar Energy Project supports this approach as a renewable energy investment intended to contribute to the carbon footprint reduction goals of Arkın Group companies and ARUCAD. Arkın Group’s investments in renewable energy and ARUCAD’s work in education and research represent different dimensions of a shared vision for a more sustainable future.
