Türkiye moves toward first offshore wind tender
Türkiye is preparing to launch its first large-scale offshore wind energy tender as part of its plan to expand renewable energy capacity.
The Energy and Natural Resources Ministry has announced a draft specification for a Renewable Energy Resource Area (YEKA) competition covering 1 gigawatt of offshore wind connection capacity.
The move follows the identification of four candidate offshore wind areas near Saros Bay, Gökçeada, Bozcaada and Edremit.
Under the draft, the right to use the connection capacity would be granted for 49 years, while the construction period for the plants would be limited to a maximum of three years after the license is obtained.
