PREFACE
We give our best efforts for the purpose to give full support to the countrywide mobilization
within the context of preparation for 100th Honorable Anniversary of Foundation of our
Republic and to take steps for carrying Konya to a more specific position in 2023. The resource
of our power constituted of utmost accord between the public, private sector institutions
and non-governmental organization in our province and their ambition for corporation and
consensual philosophy. Thanks to these opportunities, we can effectively use our current
resources, potential and Dynamics of our region in order to provide rapid, healthy, rational
and sustainable development of our province.
Undoubtedly Konya is a shining star in the center of Anatolia with its diversity of economic
activities, strong and rapidly growing economy.
Konya is one of the leading centers and opportunity in the fields of industry thanks to its
young and qualified labour force, its strategic geographical position located in the middle
of a huge market, rich natural resources, its energy potential, strong industry structure,
vast lands for investors, strong social capital and communication, incentives, support and
exemptions for industrial investment.
Basic crafts have shown development since Seljukians in Konya where there have been
significant improvements in industrial area in recent years.Organized industrial zones,
special industrial zones and small industrial sites those provide appropriate investment
and production conditions for investors have a significant share in this development. In
Konya, enterprises operating in the manufacturing sector are established in 9 organized
industrial zones, 39 small industrial sites and 14 special industrial zones and have significant
contributions to economies of Konya and Turkey. Besides 2 OIZ established in the provincial
center, OIZs are established in the districts of Akşehir, Beyşehir, Çumra, Ereğli, Kulu,
Karapınar and Seydişehir. OIZs are established on a total of 3.500 ha surface area and employ
37.000 employees in total. Furthermore, 2.526 enterprises are active in 14 special industrial
zones established in 528 ha and employ 33.000 employees in total.

Aydın Nezih Doğan
Governor of Konya
Sectorial variety and number of workplaces of industrial
enterprises in Konya are remarkable. Machinery, casting,
food, shoemaking industries constituted primarily by
automotive supply parts industry, agricultural machineries,
milling machineries, flour milling machineries and metal
processing machineries with rubber and plastic products,
furniture, textile-garments, salt, aluminium, marble are
among the leading industrial products.
5 universities of Konya have significant contributions on
the industrial development of the province. Furthermore,
Konya Technocity is active since 2004 and Konya Regional
Innovation Center is under construction process and both
centers constitute infrastructure facilities to increase
innovativeness capacities of competitive sectors. Another
issue that should be taken into consideration here is that
the first Science Center with TUBITAK supports is still under
construction process in Konya.
Konya will be energy base of Turkey in near future. Our
province has a significant potential in terms of renewable
energy sources as well as it has significant reserves for
conventional energy resources. In 2012, 60 million square
meters area in the Karapınar district was declared as
“Specialized Energy Industrial Zone” by the Cabinet. The
region is located on a productive zone in terms of solar
radiation, hence solar energy investors prefer the region
due to the characteristics of the region such that its lower
inclination, lowest precipitation rates and no altitude to
be able to create shadow.The Karapınar district has 1,832
billion ton lignite reserves appropriate to establishment of
thermal plant which is another advantage of the province.
All of these indicate that Konya will host energy investments
amounting ten billions dollars in a couple of years.
Here, in case of the whole guidance is properly examined in
addition to this summary, it will be understood that Konya
is appropriate for industrial sector investments. Besides,
“10 reasons to make industrial investments in Konya” is the
appendix part of the guidance and a kind of summary of it.
I thank you Technocity’s valuable academicians who are
assigned to prepare the financed study in the context of
direct support professional training program of MEVKA,
personnel of the Konya Provincial Directorate of Science,
Industry and Technology and other contributors. Besides,
I wish that this study will support investments in service
industry and hence lead to Konya and Turkey to reach their
objectives.
I invite potential investors to invest in Konya by ensuring
that we provide them any kind of support to make them use
important resources and opportunities for industrial sector
investments offered by Konya. I thank you, sincerely.

(Alkim, Eti, Kombassan, Ereğli Şeker, Konya Şeker, Ilgın Şeker, Aslım Enerji, Selva Gıda). The Çumra Thermal Power Plant is currently
in the investment stage and shall be put into operation as a autoproducer plant. Due to its geographical location, Konya is between
the transmission lines of Central Anatolia and Çukurova. Therefore, the province has clean energy. This clean energy allows investors
to independently establish long lasting automation systems.
After the modernization of TEİAŞ (Turkish Electricity Transmission Company) transmission lines, Konya transformer stations use 4
separate lines. This means there will be no energy cut which will minimize black start units of industrialists. Each branch of existing
clean energy plant will assure production efficiency and product quality. According to the data given by Meram Electricity Distribution
Co., the number of subscribers is 943 thousand 404 in 2011 which increases to 969 thousand 551 for the period of January-November
2012. Electricity consumption increases from 3 billion 126 million kilowatt hour in total in 2011 to 3 billion 247 million kilowatt hour for

2.14.2.2. Solar Energy
The Konya-Karapınar district stands out as one of the regions of Turkey boasting most significant potential for solar energy investments. Annual sunshine value in Karapınar is around 2.100 kWh/m2.
In 2012, 60.000.000 square meters of area that has been declared as Karapınar Industrial Zone Specialized in Energy.The lands in the
Karapınar Specialized Energy Industrial Zone will be assigned to the investors with the aim of establishing solar or wind energy plant,
thermal plant or natural gas transfer plant. In the evaluations of the investors for solar power plant investments, we see that there
are also factors like the land’s availability for agriculture and the distance between the plant and energy transmission lines besides
the solar energy potential of the region. At this point, our region gets the edge on because it is one of the rare regions which provide
all of these criteria. According to the calculations, the installed capacity of region’s potential for solar power plants is 4000 MW.
The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources address power generation from solar energy subject to a capacity limitation of 600
MW. Total of 27 regions have been granted by the investment permit and distributed the production amounts. And of them, Konya
holds the maximum number of permits with a total of 13 substation centers and 92 MW out of total investment capacity of 600 MW.
Investments for solar-powered electricity generation plants in Karapınar will lead to the need of investment materials and equipment
in huge amounts.
Major industries those will be developed in Konya and Karapınar with the establishment of solar-powered electricity generation
plants in Karapınar are:
•
Solar panel manufacturing industry,
•
Invertor, installation equipment, network transition elements and cable and equipment sectors,
•
Solar plant installation, operation, maintenance/repair engineering services industry,
•
Metal and construction sector.
Technology for solar energy investment will be provided by Konya Regional Innovation Center. The center will be carried out through
Konya Chamber of Industry and its partners within the context of MEVKA’s guided Project support and it will support the sector
within the scope of renewable energy technologies unit

2.14.2.3. Wind Power
According to the Maps presenting the Areas Suitable to Erect Wind Power Plant by Provinces in 2010 by General Directorate of
Electric Power Resources Survey and Development Administration. Konya Sites available for the utilization of wind power in Konya
have been identified as the provincial centre, Seydişehir, Derebucak, Akşehir, Doğanhisar and Taşkent districts. The establishment of
Wind Power Plants within the Seydişehir- Ardıçlı and Çumra-Alibeyhüyüğü regions is work in progress.
According to calculations, potential area available for the erection of a Wind Power Plant (WPP) is 372 km2 and total potential
installed power is 1,860 MW.
42
2.14.2.4. Shale gas
According to the drillings conducted by the Mineral Research and Exploration Institute, 8 billion ton oil shale potential source reserves have been indicated in Konya-Ereğli Mine and Niğde-Boron Basins with similar geologic characteristics of Wyoming Basin in the
USA. According to the calculations, it is proposed that rocks those are able to generate oil and gas when heated can generate oil
between the amounts of 2.6 billion barrels to 8.3 billion barrels. Researches are ongoing on national and international basis which
makes the region desirable in terms of energy.
2.14.2.5. Biogas
German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (NMU) and Ministry of Environment and City
Planning are project partners in the Turkish Biogas Potential Report.
In this report, according to the provincial statistics, provinces with higher biogas potential in terms of agricultural substrates (manure,
cereal straws, energy plants in fallowed areas, tomato wastes, sugar beet leaves) are determined.
The provinces with the highest theoretical biogas potential from agricultural wastes are: Konya, Sivas, Ankara, Şanlıurfa, Yozgat,
Kayseri, Çorum, Eskisehir, Erzurum. The provinces with higher technical biogas potential are defined as: Konya, Sivas, Ankara, Yozgat,
Balıkesir, Bolu, Kayseri, Çorum, Sakarya and Şanlıurfa.
Provinces that have the highest technical biogas potential from animal wastes are Bolu, Balıkesir, Sakarya, Izmir, Manisa, Konya and
Afyon. The provinces with the highest theoretical biogas potential of cereal straw are Konya, Şanlıurfa, Ankara and Adana. Konya has
the highest biogas potential in sugar beet leaves (27,5%) and energy plant (19%) in fallowed areas.
2.14.2.6. Natural Gas Transfer Plant
Natural gas is cheaper and environmental friendly compared with other energy resources and its usage as a primary energy source
in Turkey continuously increases. The use of natural gas combined transfer plants in electricity production in Turkey is rapidly
increasing due to their high productivity and short production period. Natural gas transfer plants have lower installation costs and
shorter production periods compared with the thermal, nuclear and hydroelectric plants which use other fossil fuels. Besides higher
productivity and power, these plants also appropriate for flexible conditions, easily applied, easily adaptable for full load and flexible
load and even able to work with high productivity capacity in flexible situations. On the other hand, as the limit values of harmful
material emissions are taken into lowest levels, natural gas transfer plants are in favour.
A 328.005 MW instalment capacity natural gas transfer plant is planned to be establish by Konya Organized Industrial Zone. This plant
will generate 1.269.504.779 KWh electricity per annum. The generated electricity power will be used to meet electricity demand of
Konya Organized Industrial Zone. This Project is significant to solve the possible future problems in energy supply in Konya.
