As of 2024, Turkey boasts an impressive 12GW of installed wind energy capacity, contributing around 10% of the country’s electricity needs. Most of this capacity is located in the Aegean and Marmara regions in the west. Wind energy is rapidly gaining prominence within Turkey’s renewable energy mix, driven by the government’s ambitious targets. Under its National Energy Plan (NEP), unveiled in 2022, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR) aims to achieve 30GW of installed wind capacity by 2035, including an exciting 5GW dedicated to offshore wind projects. 

In June 2023, MENR took a significant step forwared by launching a tender for site investigations and consultancy services in three key development zones in the Sea of Marmara. This move is set to lay the groundwork for Turkey’s first-ever offshore wind auction in the first half of 2025, marking a pivotal moment for the sector.

With Turkey’s ambitious goals and a strong demand for international expertise, the time to act is now! The Dutch wind sector, known for its cutting-edge innovation and offshore wind expertise, is uniquely positioned to seize the opportunities in both the onshore and offshore markets. Don’t miss your chance to be part of Turkey’s renewable energy transformation!

Turkish Wind Energy Congress

The 14th Turkish Wind Energy Congress (TWEC), organized by the Turkish Wind Energy Association (TWEA), is scheduled to take place in October or November in 2025, The exact date will be confirmed soon.

TWEC 2025 will address the latest development and opportunities int he Turkish wind enegy sector from both a national and global perspective and will once again be the most effective platform for information exchange and collaborations in Turkey. Experts, stakeholders, policymakers, and academics from leading regions in the wind sector, especially Europe, will participate.

Netherlands delegation

Holland Home of Wind Energy (HHWE), together with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ankara, will organize an exclusive delegation visit to Turkey. This program is designed to help Dutch companies enter the fast-growing Turkish offshore and onshore wind energy market.

The visit will consist of a combination of company visits and B2B matchmaking/networking sessions, offering valuable opportunities to connect with key players in the Turkish wind energy industry (for these components we would like to receive your input on which Turkish companies you would like to meet/visit). This will be followed by participation (with possibly a pop-up booth at the exhibition floor), in the 14th Turkish Wind Energy Congress, the premier event in the Turkey’s wind energy sector. Please note that we can only facilitate the program if we have enough participating Dutch companies.
