What Sabanci Renewables does

Sabanci Renewables Inc. is the U.S. renewable energy vehicle of Sabanci Climate Technologies, the international arm of Turkey's Sabanci Energy Group (part of the diversified Sabanci Holding conglomerate). Headquartered in Austin with a small core team of 11–50 employees, the company develops, owns, and operates a U.S. portfolio spanning onshore wind, utility-scale solar, and battery storage assets. It positions itself as a power plant owner and operator in the short term and a service provider to other energy investors in the medium term, reducing carbon emissions, creating regional employment, and contributing to local economies through its project pipeline.

The company generates revenue primarily through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with large corporate energy consumers seeking to meet sustainability and regulatory commitments, supplemented by tax-credit compliance services delivered in partnership with Empact Technologies under Inflation Reduction Act frameworks. Its marquee offtake is a 220 MW Texas solar PPA with Meta, and its initial compliance engagement with Empact covers 286 MW of utility-scale solar with financial guarantees against IRS audit penalties. The partnership is positioned to expand across the broader development pipeline, tying tax-credit monetization directly to project growth.

Go-to-market is enterprise B2B, executed through direct long-dated PPA negotiations with hyperscalers and large industrials. The platform is backed by Sabanci Holding's substantial capital base and is paired with Sabanci Climate Ventures' $200M commitment to disruptive energy and climate tech startups in the U.S. and Europe, creating an integrated bridge between utility-scale asset development and emerging climate technology.
