Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB) launched the 12th Turkish Wind Energy Congress (TÜREK) with the main theme of the Century of Wind. The congress hosted by TÜREB President İbrahim Erden was attended by the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar, as well as the Chairman of the GNAT Industry, Trade, Energy, Natural Resources, Information and Technology Commission Mustafa Varank, EMRA President Mustafa Yılmaz, WindEurope Chief Executive (CEO) Giles. Dickson attended. Speaking at the congress, Bayraktar made important statements about Turkey’s wind potential.
Turkey’s wind energy potential
According to the news in futureflow.life, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources spoke at the 12th Turkish Wind Energy Congress organized by the Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB). Alparslan BayraktarHe stated that electricity demand has increased from 15 percent to 20 percent in the last 21 years and that this increase may reach 30 percent in the next 20 years. In addition to this increase in electricity demand, he emphasized that clean energy transformation is a need arising from the fight against climate change.
Emphasizing Turkey’s success in the wind energy sector, Minister Bayraktar announced that the wind energy installed power in the country reached 11,609 MW and an annual turnover of approximately 2 billion euros (2.22 billion dollars). This means that it meets approximately 11 percent of Turkey’s electricity needs.

Minister Bayraktar stated that Turkey’s wind energy potential is well above the world average and that they aim to meet 25 percent of their electricity needs from wind energy within 20 years. He noted that improvements and reforms are needed to achieve this goal.
Finally, Minister Bayraktar emphasized that while realizing Turkey’s great wind energy potential, importance should be given to locality and contribution to global supply diversity. He also stated that success in the wind energy sector is closely related to the supply chain.
With these developments, it is clear that Turkey has a great growth and investment potential in the wind energy sector. By increasing its efforts in clean and sustainable energy production, Turkey can use wind energy more to meet its energy needs and support environmental sustainability. This can contribute to environmental sustainability by meeting the country’s energy needs and also promote local production in the energy sector.
