Türkiye has announced plans to launch its first offshore wind Renewable Energy Resource Area (YEKA) tender after completing permitting processes for four identified offshore sites, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said.
Bayraktar said the ministry identified offshore wind areas in the waters off Saros Bay, Gökçeada, Bozcaada and Edremit, targeting 5 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2035.
“As the Ministry, we have identified four separate offshore sites in the waters off Saros Bay, Gökçeada, Bozcaada, and Edremit. Once the permitting processes are completed, we will hold Türkiye’s first offshore wind YEKA tender. We aim to reach a capacity of 5,000 MW in offshore wind by 2035,” Bayraktar said.
The minister said Türkiye would continue organizing YEKA tenders totaling at least 2 GW annually, with 1.5 GW allocated to wind energy in 2026.
“2026 will truly be the year of wind. Indeed, 1,500 MW of the YEKA tenders will be for wind power,” Bayraktar said.
Speaking at the Turkey Wind Energy Congress, Bayraktar said
