“Our duty is not only to produce”
The people and other industries around the area can make use of the extra energy that is supplied by the firm, while the firm supplies the 100 percent natural energy. By that to contribute the widest area of nature that can be reached is aimed.

“Our duty is not only to produce but also to create the most efficient, thrifty and environment friendly production systems to pay the World what we owe it,” was told by Kerim SELEK - the General Manager of Genc Degirmen who also highlighted if there is demand from consumers and an available field, the solar power plants are in the exhibition too. Also, “We have a collaboration protocol with Solimpeks which produces Turkey cantered renewable energy materials and grows rapidly” he added.

The contribution to nature is on a global dimension
Genc Degirmen built photovoltaic solar power panels all over the rooftops of production based buildings to supply the energy needed by the firm and channelise the extra energy to the needy environment. By that, the firm contributes to the industry and life around it. The firm not only creates milling systems good enough for itself but also attributes value to the nature.

Able to produce 1MW per hour, the 3.456 systems which have HIT technology over 325 W power, created of monocrystal photovoltaic panels has been built and expected to produce 1.600.000 KWH energy per year. By that, the electricity need of 600 houses will be supplied, approximately 1.200 tons of carbon (CO2) and cycle will be blocked and 85.000 trees will be saved.

A shared mindset could lead the way to providing a greener future

An interview with A Kerim Selek, Chairman, Genc Degirmen

Through the rapid population growth worldwide, rapid depletion of resources and harmful practices in the world are a major concern for the future. The thought of leaving a greener world to next generations is a vital target that the whole world needs to prioritise. Unfortunately nowadays not every company shows this sensitivity and some ambitions could take precedence over than to protect the nature.

Fortunately in this respect there are some companies, which are seeing this issue as their task. One of them is Genc Degirmen. The company has decided to invest in projects that can generate electricity from solar energy and it has been applied quickly. We listened the story of this investment from A. Kerim Selek, Chairman of Genc Degirmen, who served over 27 years in Konya's flour and semolina mills.
