The Turkish Education Association (TED) was founded on January 31, 1928, and is the first non-governmental organization in the field of education in Türkiye.

The TED College Rooftop Solar Power Plant project aims to harness the solar energy potential in Başiskele District of Kocaeli Province, located in Türkiye’s Marmara Region.

TED College implemented the investment through TurSEFF. The TurSEFF advised company about alternative and cos-effective ways to realize this investment. Team helped the company in using Green Technology Selector, and to select the optimum pre-approved equipment from the tool.
