Karapınar SPP and SCADA Building

  Development

Karapınar Solar Power Plant (SPP), one of the largest solar energy investments in Turkiye and Europe, and among the most significant worldwide, is spread across 20 million square meters with nearly 3.5 million panels. With an installed capacity of 1,350 MWp, the plant generates approximately 3 billion kWh of electricity annually, meeting the energy needs of 2 million people. This production increases Turkiye’s solar energy capacity by 15%, while preventing 1.7 million tons of carbon emissions each year.

Within the project site, a total land area of 38,000 m² and a construction area of 2,778 m² accommodate various auxiliary structures. The most prominent among these is the SCADA Building, regarded as the “brain” of the facility.

Designed to ensure the secure and efficient management of energy production and distribution processes, the Karapınar SCADA Building embodies a modern and refined architectural language. Featuring expansive glass façades, abundant natural light, and durable exterior materials suited to climatic conditions, the building stands out with its contemporary character. Inside, control rooms, technical units, and social spaces are organized with a functional layout, where acoustic comfort, safety, and advanced technological infrastructure have been key design priorities.

Beyond its operational role, the SCADA Building also emerges as one of the architectural symbols of Turkiye’s renewable energy vision. As the heart of energy management, it complements the holistic success of Karapınar SPP with its environmentally responsible approach, sustainable solutions, and contemporary architectural expression.
