Turkcell and Turkcell Superonline Conserve the Energy of 22,500 Households Istanbul, Turkey, January 20, 2012 - Turkcell (NYSE: TKC, ISE: TCELL), the leading communications and technology company and its subsidiary Turkcell Superonline have announced their contribution to the Turkish economy through energy saving and environmentally friendly solutions applied on their network. The energy saved at Turkcell's base stations, together with Turkcell Superonline's fiber network has reached 65 million kWh, thus surpassing the annual consumption level of more than 22,500 households.

Through the use of environmentally friendly base stations, Turkcell has saved approximately 55 million kWh of energy, which amounts to the consumption of approximately 20,000 households. Among other means, this was achieved through hybrid base stations interchangeably powered by wind turbines and electricity in the network as well as 25 base stations relying on solar and wind energy, and built in regions of limited electricity supply. Additionally, the adjustment of base stations' electricity consumption in line with network traffic density, plus the use of energy saving air-conditioning both contribute to energy conservation. Meanwhile, Turkcell Superonline's use of GPON (Gigabit Passive Optic Network) technology for the first time in Turkey has led to a saving of 10 million kWh, which exceeds the annual electricity consumption of more than 2,500 households.
Chief Network Operations Officer Ilter Terzioglu has commented that "We have become an exemplary company worldwide with our hybrid base stations that derive electricity from both the network and wind energy. We also ensure seamless communication in regions of limited electricity supply with our base stations powered solely by alternative energy sources. As Turkcell Group, we are proud that together with Turkcell Superonline, we channel our leadership in technology to the creation of environmentally-friendly solutions, and offer supreme and seamless communication to our customers, while contributing to Turkey's economy."
