The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has acquired the carbon credits from the 77 MW Edincik wind farm in Turkey to offset its emissions.

The carbon credits will be used to compensate for emissions from its London headquarters, regional offices, and flights in 2017. 

The Edincik wind park developed on the southern coast of the Sea of Marmara has been financed by Işbank, a partner bank of the EBRD’s credit line for medium-sized sustainable energy projects in Turkey (MidSEFF).
