Aksa Energy, established in 1997, is Turkey’s largest publicly listed independent power producer. With roots dating back to the 1950s, Kazancı Holding, the major shareholder of Aksa Energy, is a global powerhouse, engaging in production activities on four continents, operating in 21 countries with more than 8 thousand employees, and exporting to 173 countries around the world. Kazancı Holding ranks among the leading companies in the energy industry, with operations in energy production, electricity distribution and sales, natural gas distribution, and generator production via affiliates who are leaders in their own respective sectors. In addition to energy, the Group creates value with business activities in agriculture and tourism.

With business operations in five countries on two continents, Aksa Energy is a global energy company that delivers all steps in power plant installation procedures – from project development to procurement, construction to installation – in-house with its highly skilled technical teams. To date, the Company has built and operated more than 30 power plants using various energy sources, including coal, fuel oil, biogas, natural gas, wind and hydroelectricity. Taking its experience in this field abroad with power plant installations in countries that require urgent energy, Aksa Energy provides fast and reliable solutions in the field of energy.

Aiming to expand further abroad after Northern Cyprus investment, Aksa Energy took its first step toward globalization in 2015. Acting to transfer its efficiency and sustainability oriented approach to
overseas markets, Aksa Energy’s first target was Africa. It entered the African continent with the power plants it has built and commissioned in Ghana, Madagascar and Mali in a short time. Consolidating its presence in Africa with guaranteed electricity sales agreements on a foreign currency basis, Aksa Energy plans to expand its global service network further and closely monitors new investment opportunities in countries that have an urgent energy need.

In 2010, Aksa Energy’s shares were listed on Istanbul Stock Exchange under the ticker AKSEN. Aksa Energy’s shares are being traded on BIST 50, BIST Electricity, BIST Corporate Governance Index, BIST Sustainability, and MSCI Turkey Indices. The Company is also the first publicly listed independent power producer included in the Corporate Governance Index with a rating of 9.34 out of 10.
