Türkiye has strongest energy infrastructure in Europe: Erdoğan
Türkiye has the strongest energy infrastructure in Europe thanks to the intense investments in this field, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, describing Türkiye as the most trustworthy and efficient bridge between source countries and the global markets.
In his speech at the second Istanbul Natural Resources Summit on May 22, Erdoğan explained the country’s expanding energy investments inside and outside Türkiye including oil and natural gas explorations.
“We turned Türkiye into one of the strongest energy infrastructure through LNG [liquified natural gas] terminals, FSRU [Floating Storage and Regasification Unit] facilities and pipelines,” Erdoğan said.
Türkiye will increase the capacity of the LNG terminals to 200 million cubic meters from current 161 cubic meters and invest in more infrastructure in all other fields, Erdoğan said. “Just like in the field of defense industry, our objective is to gain full independence in energy,” he added.
