Wind power

Türkiye and the World Bank are in discussion to finance a $28 billion energy transmission infrastructure project, a cornerstone of Türkiye's renewable energy transformation plan.

The initiative aligns with Türkiye's 2035 renewable energy targets, aiming to expand the country's energy capacity and diversify its resources.

An association of scientists says that wind parks, whose construction has often run into local opposition, actually help local forests. 

Investments in wind farms totaling more than 110 million euros were connected to the grid during the first half of 2024, according to the Wind Energy Statistics announced by the Hellenic Wind Energy Association (ELETAEN).

The European elections have led the offshore wind farm development program to an informal freeze.

Export revenues of Turkish wind energy equipment manufacturers increased from $1.5 billion in 2020 to $2.2 billion in 2023, according to İbrahim Erden, the president of the Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB).

Türkiye is on a path to becoming a reliable supplier to the European wind energy supply chain, Erden told daily Hürriyet.

BELGRADE - Serbian Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Djedovic Handanovic received a Power China delegation on Wednesday to discuss development plans focusing on cooperation in the renewables sector and the Vetrozelena ("Windgreen") project.

The offshore block 'Crete 2b,' which has been included in the national offshore wind farm development planning, is being moved westward and further offshore and limited to 400 megawatts of the originally planned 600 MW.

Greece has moved toward "clean" energy at a fast clip and its progress to achieving it should not be hampered. However, it seems that haste has resulted in decisions where the cost will outweigh the benefits.

A typical example of this is the plan to create offshore wind farms in areas of high tourism interest. What this will lead to is one activity undermining the other. 

The state's proposal to place offshore wind farms off Crete has united the island's hoteliers in support of the preservation of the natural and manmade landscape.
