- Aksa Enerji Üretim A.S. operates as an independent power producer primarily engaged in the generation and sale of electricity with a comprehensive portfolio that includes energy production from coal, fuel oil, biogas, natural gas, wind, and hydroelectric sources. The company manufactures and operates approximately 30 power plants across Turkey, Asia, and Africa, serving diverse markets with a broad spectrum of energy solutions. Aksa Enerji undertakes the entire lifecycle of power plant projects, including design, procurement, construction, and operation, emphasizing sustainability, efficiency, and technological innovation. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, Aksa Enerji functions as a subsidiary of Kazancı Holding and holds a significant position in the independent power producer sector.
Recent strategic developments include the acquisition of majority shares in DeltaGen, a South Africa-based manufacturer of gen-sets and renewable energy systems, enhancing Aksa Enerji's production capacity and market presence in Southern and Central Africa. The company signed a 20-year guaranteed power purchase agreement with Burkina Faso's national electricity company (Sonabel) and commenced a project to build a 119 MW fuel oil power plant in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, reflecting its growing footprint in African energy markets. Additionally, Aksa Enerji secured a $150 million financing agreement with the Africa Finance Corporation to fund new natural gas-powered energy facilities in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Senegal. The company is also expanding its capacity in the Republic of the Congo by upgrading the Djeno gas-to-power plant to 100 MW. These initiatives are part of Aksa Enerji’s broader strategy to strengthen its global presence, particularly in Africa, and to advance sustainable and accessible energy solutions.
Aksa Enerji’s product and service offerings include electricity generation across various fuel types; power plant design, construction, and operational management; and provision of innovative energy solutions tailored to industrial, commercial, and governmental clients. The company operates within several countries including Turkey, multiple African nations such as Ghana, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Republic of the Congo, and regions in Asia. Its continuous focus on expanding renewable energy and gas-powered projects aligns with global sustainability trends and the company’s strategic growth objectives.
These comprehensive operational and strategic expansions position Aksa Enerji Üretim A.S. as a leading global energy company with a diversified energy production portfolio, a sustained focus on innovation, and strategic growth particularly in emerging markets across Africa and Asia. The firm maintains a robust financial and operational structure supporting its long-term ambitions in the energy sector.
