R&D
Enerjisa Electricity Distribution Companies initiated its R&D journey as Başkent Energy and Automation Directorate in 2011. Infrastructure and adaptation projects such as SCADA, Energy Analyser, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), OSOS, etc. were completed in the first place.

As of 2013, the R&D Directorate, which carries out its projects through funding resources, has begun focusing on Smart Grids, besides energy automation projects.

While the main funding resource was EMRA’s R&D Fund; EU Framework Programmes Horizon 2020 and TUBITAK 1501/1509 funding resources were also used. Furthermore, the R&D Directorate also represents our country in ITEA and EUROGIA clusters which operate under EUREKA cluster through the projects developed. The R&D Directorate also has chairs in the board of directors and technical boards of the EUROGIA cluster, which operates particularly in low-carbon energies. Our CEO Murat Pınar has been the chairperson of the cluster since 2018.

Carrying out various projects in improvement of the distribution grids and operational efficiency, Occupational Health and Safety, Environment, Customer Solutions, Smart Cities and Smart Grids, the R&D Directorate keeps close contact with universities and start-ups; hence, continues to add value. Developing new technologies through strengthening the theoretical knowledge with know-how and experience as part of the R&D projects, the R&D Directorate believes in the significance of collaboration with universities, SMEs, related institutions in the industry and start-ups.
