The Gezin Solar Power Plant is located in the Maden district of Küçükova village, within the eastern province of Elazığ, Türkiye. Despite its modest scale, this project makes a meaningful contribution to the clean energy transition by utilizing the region’s abundant solar resources in the most efficient way possible. Through the installation of high-performance photovoltaic technology, the plant generates approximately 6,963 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity each year.

This clean energy directly displaces electricity from the national grid, which is predominantly powered by fossil fuel sources such as coal and natural gas. By replacing carbon-intensive grid electricity with solar power, the project not only contributes to Türkiye’s renewable energy goals but also plays an active role in mitigating the global climate crisis.

On an annual basis, the Gezin SPP avoids the release of approximately 3,952 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂e) into the atmosphere—emissions that would otherwise result from conventional electricity generation. Each carbon credit issued under this project represents a verified and permanent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

While small in capacity, the Gezin SPP holds a unique distinction: it is the smallest project ever registered under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). This makes it a powerful symbol of how even the most compact climate solutions can create measurable, lasting impact. By supporting this project, you are not only helping to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy in underserved regions but also endorsing the idea that no action is too small when it comes to fighting climate change.
