Türkiye, which has great potential in all disciplines of renewable energy resources with its geographical location, tectonic structure and climate, is becoming the address for investments on a global scale with the “National Energy Action Plan” announced by the public authority to the whole world in 2023.
Türkiye, which has exceeded the installed power level of 12 thousand MW in wind energy as of July 2024, ranks 12th in the world and 5th in Europe with this success. With more than 4 thousand wind turbines in 280 power plants built with more than 100 local and foreign investors, wind alone meets 11 percent of Turkey’s electricity needs.
While we care about this important success of Türkiye, which aims to commission at least 1500 MW of wind energy installed power every year until 2035, we know that we are far below our country’s potential.
According to the National Energy Action Plan, Türkiye’s wind energy installed power will increase to 29 thousand 600 MW in 2035. Among this installed capacity, our offshore wind energy installed power will be only 5 thousand MW.
This goal tells us:
We will do approximately 3 times more in the next 12 years than we did in the last 26 years.
In other words, we have a lot of work to do in the wind energy sector, we have a long way to go and we won’t have a minute to waste.
In offshore wind energy, where we are at zero point today, our potential installed power, announced by the World Bank and whose measurement has been completed, is at the level of 75 thousand MW.
Our installed capacity target is one 15th of our potential.
In light of all this data, we, as the Energy Industrialists and Business Association (ENSİA), are working to ensure that our country has a say in the wind industry.
As ENSIA, which attaches importance to companies based in Turkey having a say and decisions at every stage of the value chain created by the industry, we are participating in WindEnergy Hamburg, one of the most important global meeting points of wind energy, to introduce the potential of our country and to create value for our members as a cluster. For this reason, we have very high expectations from WindEnergy Hamburg, with our companies producing in the main and sub-industries of the industry.
ENSİA, which has the vision of “transforming Turkey into an international center producing equipment, technology and projects in the field of clean energy”, adopts creating accurate information and awareness about the clean energy sector as its main goal.
Our Association employs more than 60 thousand members; As of today, it is a non-governmental organization capable of managing two European Union-funded projects and one Ur-Ge ( Supporting the Development of International Competitiveness) project at the same time…
Likewise; We share the problems, expectations and suggestions that closely concern our sector with our public and decision makers through our press; We record our constructive and restorative suggestions in the corporate memory of our sector.
In this regard, we need to underline that we are among the most active civil society organizations in the Turkish energy sector.
We are going to implement projects that will create more value for our industry and our members, together, with common sense, and by taking reason and science as our guide. With these thoughts, we say hi to ‘’WindEnergy Hamburg’’.
