Konya hosted the 5th International Half Marathon, welcoming around 7,500 participants from over 56 countries. It wasn’t just a race—it was a shared moment of energy, connection, and healthy living, reflecting the spirit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 3 🏃

Bugün Konya’mızda sadece spor değil, iyilik de kazanıyor.

Konya sets a strong example in clean energy 👇
Cities can lead the shift to a sustainable future—expanding renewables, cutting emissions, and boosting energy independence.
Local action is key to achieving the SDGs. 🌱⚡

[Uğur İbrahim Altay @u_ibrahim_altay]

Konya’mız için çok önemli bir yenilenebilir enerji yatırımını daha hayata geçiriyoruz.

Büyükşehir Belediyemiz ve KOSKİ Genel Müdürlüğümüz bünyesinde 70 MW’lık yeni GES yatırımımızla, mevcut 35 MW’lık gücümüzü 105 MW’a çıkarıyoruz. Böylece belediyeler arasında bu alanda Türkiye’de ilk sıraya yükseliyoruz.

160 bin panelle yılda 140 milyon kWh elektrik üretecek bu yatırım, 58 binden fazla hanenin ve KOSKİ’nin enerji ihtiyacını karşılayacak; yaklaşık 100 bin ton karbon salımını da engelleyecek.

Şehrimize hayırlı olsun.
