Enerjisa Distribution Companies, which provide electricity distribution services to approximately a quarter of total population in Türkiye with the regions of Başkent EDAŞ, Ayedaş and Toroslar EDAŞ, breaks another new ground and initiates the EV fleet period in electricity distribution services
Enerjisa Distribution Companies, the leader of the electricity distribution industry in Türkiye, commissioned an EV fleet consisting of 160 EVs to be used in the field works of Başkent EDAŞ, Ayedaş and Toroslar EDAŞ which provide electricity distribution services for a population of over 22 million in 14 provinces.
Accelerating the EV transformation in their fleet with the purpose of reducing fossil fuel consumption in line with sustainable environmental goals, Enerjisa Distribution Companies included over 80 hybrid cars to their inventory, in addition to the EVs in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles segments.
Enerjisa Distribution Companies have also set future goals based on their Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) Strategy as they initiated EV transformation in their fleet and made these vehicles a part of their operations for activities including maintenance, index reading and fault repair processes.
The goal for 2025 is 25 percent for EVs
Accordingly, the number of EVs in the fleet will rise to 500 with the goal to save approximately 868 tons of emissions in 2024. Currently, the number of EVs operated actively in the fleet will constitute 12 percent of the total number of vehicles.
Enerjisa Distribution Companies, which will increase the number of EVs in their fleet to 1000 in line with 2025 goals, thus have the purpose of increasing the share of EVs in the fleet to approximately 25 percent.
Having a quarter of the fleet electric, the goal of the company is to save approximately 2,265 tons of emissions in 2025 and to reduce fossil fuel consumption by 14 percent.
“We are creating a culture.”
Oğuzhan Özsürekci, General Manager at Enerjisa Distribution Companies:
“Endeavoring to provide high-quality and uninterrupted electricity over a wide geography, our teams will now carry out all their investment, maintenance, repair, and other works 24/7 with these vehicles. We will also reduce our carbon footprint thanks to this transformation. We also keep going all our grid investments at full speed with the purpose of providing the EV load on the grids. Besides the EV transformation in our fleet, we are creating a culture to popularize EVs and make the use of EVs more efficient by providing training to our employees. Thus, we aim to set an example to all industries.”
Ebru Taşcıoğlu, Head of Sustainability and Corporate Competencies at Enerjisa:
“We are aware of our responsibility in line with the goals of United Nations, Paris Climate Agreement, decarbonization steps of the EU, and the 2053 Zero Emission Plan of Türkiye as well as our binding duty for our country and future generations. At Enerjisa, we continue to contribute to the active policies of Türkiye in tackling climate change that threatens the future of our world. In all steps we take, we keep pace with the future energy world and trends from today for a cleaner world, and we pioneer the change and transformation in the industry.”
