What Ayen does

Ayen Enerji A.Ş is a publicly listed Turkish renewable energy independent power producer (IPP), headquartered at Hülya Sokak No: 37 in Ankara's G.O.P district and traded on Borsa İstanbul under ticker AYEN. The company was founded in 1990 and operates a portfolio of hydroelectric and wind generation assets in Turkey, including the Yamula and Büyükdüz hydroelectric plants and a fleet of wind farms (Çaypınar, Akbük, Akbük II, Korkmaz, Mordoğan). Through its Albanian subsidiary Ayen AS Energji Sha, the group operates three hydropower plants in southern Albania with combined installed capacity of approximately 110 MW under a PPP framework awarded by the Albanian Ministry of Energy.

Ayen holds electricity generation and trading licenses from Turkey's Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) and operates electricity trading subsidiaries (Ayen Elektrik Ticaret A.Ş., Ayen Energy Trading D.O.O, Ayen Energy Trading Sha) across Turkey, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, enabling cross-border wholesale electricity trading in the Western Balkans. Revenue is generated primarily through bilateral and regulated-tariff power purchase agreements with national grid operators, including Turkey's TEİAŞ and equivalent Albanian counterparts. The company finances its capital-intensive asset base through a combination of syndicated bank facilities — most recently a €110 million syndicated loan closed on 2024-08-29 with four Albanian banks — and bond market access via TRSAYENA1617 and TRSAYENK1813 under SPK oversight.

The group's product roadmap emphasizes hybrid and dispatchable renewable configurations, exemplified by the Çaypınar RES+GES project, where a solar facility was licensed as an auxiliary resource to an existing wind farm and brought into commercial operation in 2022. Ayen is regulated by Turkey's Capital Markets Board (SPK) and EPDK and is subject to standard public disclosure and corporate governance obligations for BIST-listed issuers.

Revenue model

1. Electricity Generation and Sale: Ayen Enerji generates electricity from its owned hydroelectric and wind power plants across Turkey and Albania. Revenue is derived from the sale of electricity to grid operators, licensed under EMRA (Turkey) and equivalent Albanian authorities. The company holds electricity generation and trading licenses, enabling it to operate across the full electricity value chain from generation to wholesale trading.
2. Contech / Proptech Services (via Acquisition): Following the seven-figure SAR acquisition of Elmawkaa, Ayen (Saudi Arabia) operates a construction technology platform serving real estate developers in the GCC. Revenue from this segment supports Ayen's pre-IPO growth plans and diversification beyond pure energy generation.
