 Galata Wind Energy, which generates 100 clean and renewable energy at its wind and solar power plants, delivered strong financial performance in Q3 2022 and captured significant increase in its cash flow. Despite the ongoing global energy crisis and macroeconomic uncertainties, the company increased its revenues by 161 to TL 863 million in the first nine months of 2022.

Galata Wind, the wind and solar power generation company, announced its Q3 2022 results. According to the latest financial statements, Galata Wind maintains its strong performance with continued economic growth. In Q3 2022, Galata Wind preserved its EBITDA margin at 85 while capturing a net debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.03. In addition to growing its revenues by 161 to reach TL 863 million, Galata Wind also posted TL 705 million in profits before tax with an increase of 466. The company's balance sheet improved by 42 year on year. 

Clean energy investments continue 

The company, which has realized its growth vision much faster since the public offering, aims to increase its current 269 MW portfolio to 500-550 MW in the near future. Accordingly, the request for coordinating the auxiliary source area in the generation license of the hybrid project at Galata Wind's Taşpınar Power Plant was approved by EMRA. In addition, Galata Wind, which has an annual electricity generation capacity of approximately 800 GWh, was also approved to increase its total installed capcaity of 67.2 MWm/60 MWe to 80.2 MWm/73 MWe at Taşpınar Wind Power Plant (WPP). Thus, it will be possible to add two new turbines to Taşpınar WPP, which continues its activities with 14 turbines. In addition to these, the Company has taken over the license for a wind power plant with an installed capacity of 9 MWm/6.8 MWe to operate in the province of Muğla.

Charging toward targets with sustainable and green financing 

As part of its efforts to invest more in renewable energy to reach its sustainable development goals, Galata Wind filed an application with the CMB for the issuance of bonds/other instruments as a green financing instrument to be sold to qualified investors and/or private placement for a total nominal value not to exceed TL 500,000,000.

Galata Wind signed a loan agreement with the EBRD to receive a financing of US 45 million to support its investments. With the planned capacity increases, it will be possible to reduce approximately extra 80,000 tons of CO2 carbon emissions by generating an additional annual average of 150,000 MWh of electricity.

Burak Kuyan, CEO, Galata Wind, commented on the company's Q3 performance and the loan agreement signed with the EBRD: “This year, we became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, declaring our commitment to the ten principles. In line with our vision of integrating sustainability management into all our processes and supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we will expand our renewable energy capacity with new investments and contribute further to the reduction of carbon emissions, which for us currently amount to 400,000 tons of CO₂ every year. The loan that EBRD has provided will facilitate our efforts to reach our mid- and long-term renewable energy targets. We envision an even brighter future for clean energy companies like Galata Wind, which will play an increasingly more significant role in economic growth through a stronger global sustainability focus.”

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has provided Galata Wind with a 45 million loan to increase its renewable energy capacity. With this financing, Galata Wind will save 80,000 tons in CO₂ emissions annually by generating approximately 150,000 MWh of renewable electricity per year through planned investments.

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development provided Galata Wind with 45 million in financing to increase its wind power generation capacity and support Turkey in transitioning to clean energy. Galata Wind will use this loan to finance its planned capacity increase projects in the wind farms currently in operation, further increasing the company’s total operational installed power. Galata Wind is a leading renewable energy investor in Turkey with a total installed power of 269 MW. The company currently operates 3 wind power plants and 2 solar power plants, generating nearly 800,000 MWh of electricity annually.

The installed power of the wind farms in Turkey is currently around 11 GW. On the other hand, Turkey has an estimated wind power generation potential of 40-50 GW, which is not yet fully utilized, with one reason being limited access to long-term financing. Aida Sitdikova, Director, Energy Eurasia MEA, Sustainable Infrastructure Group, EBRD, emphasized that the green agenda should be accelerated in Turkey, “These loans are effective in terms of enabling the private sector to work toward a renewable future. We are pleased to partner with Galata Wind on this project. We will continue to support renewable energy investors in Turkey.” 
 

“EBRD loan will support our mid- and long-term renewable energy targets” 

Burak Kuyan, CEO, Galata Wind, noted that the company has earned the trust of respected international financial institutions like EBRD with its performance: “As a company that generates clean and renewable wind and solar power, Galata Wind grew by 61 in 2021 and continued to deliver a successful financial performance in the first six months of 2022. We captured 188 year on year growth and recorded TL 518 million in revenues.

To elevate our successful performance, we aim to increase Galata Wind’s total installed power of 269 MW to 500-550 MW in the near future. And we intend to achieve this by investing in part in Turkey and in part in our surrounding regions and Europe. Our long-term aspiration is to become a global player by 2030. This year, Galata Wind became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, declaring its commitment to the ten principles. In line with our vision of integrating sustainability management into all our business processes and supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we will expand our renewable energy capacity with new investments and contribute further to the reduction of carbon emissions, which for us currently amount to 400,000 tons of CO₂ every year. The loan that EBRD has provided will support us in reaching our mid- and long-term renewable energy targets. We anticipate that clean energy companies like Galata Wind will play a more significant role in economic growth with an increasingly stronger global sustainability approach toward a brighter future. At Galata Wind, we will continue to invest in renewable energy.”

Galata Wind’s planned capacity increases to generate an additional 150,000 MWh of electricity annually will potentially reduce carbon emissions further by nearly 80,000 tons of CO₂. The loan extended to Galata Wind expands EBRD’s efforts to promote the private sector’s participation in renewable energy generation and supports Turkey’s rapid transition to clean energy. As a major international financial institution, EBRD has invested more than €16.8 billion to finance 381 projects, mostly in the private sector in Turkey since 2009.
