After careful consideration, we have decided not to participate in Turkish Wind Energy Congress (TWEC) this year. This decision was made based on the current level of interest and the timing of the event. We truly value the opportunities that TWEC offers and hope to join the next edition in 2026.

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 September 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.
