History

Energy Investors Association (GÜYAD) is a non-governmental organization founded in Turkey in 2016 by a group of solar energy investors. The organization was established with the aim of promoting the use of solar energy and related technologies in the Turkish energy market with an investor-oriented perspective.

The idea of founding GÜYAD originated from the need for a platform where solar energy investors could come together and collaborate to support and develop solar energy investments in Turkey. The founding members of GÜYAD identified the potential of solar energy and realized that there was a lack of a dedicated platform to support the growth of the solar energy industry in Turkey.

The signing ceremony of GÜYAD was realized by the assembled solar energy investors in the EIF 9th International Energy Congress and Expo held at ATO (Ankara Chamber of Commerce) on 3-4 November, 2016. The founders of GÜYAD saw this event as an opportunity to gather like-minded individuals who shared their vision for the development of solar energy in Turkey.

After its establishment, GÜYAD started to organize various events, seminars, and workshops to promote solar energy investments and raise awareness about the benefits of renewable energy sources. The organization also focused on establishing effective mechanisms for supporting solar energy investments through the cooperation of private sector investors.

Over the years, GÜYAD has become an important player in the Turkish energy market and has established itself as a solution partner and opinion leader for the protection of the solar energy investment environment. The organization has also contributed significantly to the development of the solar energy industry in Turkey by supporting future plans, programs, investments, and initiatives.
