Çeşme Marina, on the Turkish coast, has been awarded the International Renewable Energy Certificate (I-REC). This significant certification confirms that 100% of the marina’s annual electricity consumption — totalling 3,414 MWh in 2024 — is now sourced entirely from renewable energy.
The I-REC Standard is a globally recognised system for documenting renewable electricity consumption. It provides assurance that electricity is generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar, or hydro, and meets international standards for environmental accountability. By securing this certification, Çeşme Marina demonstrates its measurable and verified commitment to sustainability and carbon footprint reduction.
“We are incredibly proud and deeply honoured to receive this sustainability award. It’s a true testament to the passion, commitment and relentless effort of our entire team,” said Toker Gürer, General Manager of Çeşme Marina. “This recognition reflects our belief that marinas can — and must — lead the way in environmental responsibility. It motivates us to push even further toward a greener, more sustainable future.”
In line with this achievement, Çeşme Marina is also investing in a seawater treatment plant using reverse osmosis technology, expected to be operational by the end of 2025. This project is set to significantly reduce freshwater consumption, further supporting the marina’s drive to operate sustainably across all areas of its infrastructure.
These initiatives align with Çeşme Marina’s broader mission to serve as a regional leader in sustainability while providing world-class service to yacht owners, captains, and visitors.
