Түркиянын деңиздеги шамал энергиясы демилгеси: стратегиялык кадамдар

Mithat Yurdakul - Türkiye is taking an important step within the scope of renewable energy strategies and turning to investments in offshore wind power plants. The four regions identified off the coast of Saros Gulf, Gökçeada, Bozcaada and Edremit are among the candidate areas to be invested in this area. The specification process for Renewable Energy Resource Areas (YEKA) competitions has also been initiated.

First Steps for Offshore Wind Power Plants

The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources continues its preparations for Türkiye's first large-scale offshore wind energy investment. In this context, the usage right for 1 gigawatt offshore wind connection capacity was determined as 49 years, while the construction period of the power plants was determined as a maximum of 3 years from the license acquisition.

In the competitions, the ceiling price for electricity purchase was announced as 11 cents/kilowatt hour, and the base price was announced as 7 cents/kilowatt hour. Мындан тышкары, электр станцияларына инвестиция тартууда локалдаштыруу көрсөткүчү 25 пайыз болушу талап кылынат. Жалпысынан 1000 мегаватт жээктеги шамал электр станциясын кошуу кубаттуулугу үчүн сынактар ​​өткөрүлөт. Маанилүү компаниялар бул инвестицияларга технологиялык өнөктөш катары катыша алышат. After the permit processes are completed, the date for the first offshore wind YEKA competition in Türkiye will be announced.

Strategic Regions and Planning

Intensive work is being carried out for offshore wind energy projects. Хатайдан Кара деңиз жана Фракияга чейинки 19 аймак кылдат талданды. Within the scope of the study, criteria such as protected areas, fish migration routes and international maritime transportation corridors were taken into consideration. As a result, Saros Gulf, Gökçeada, Bozcaada and Edremit offshore areas were determined as candidate regions for investment.

Although such projects are more costly compared to terrestrial projects, they provide more energy production thanks to highly efficient and continuous wind currents. While the total investment size for Türkiye's 5 gigawatt investment target set by 2035 is calculated as approximately 15 billion dollars, 2.5-3 billion dollars of resources will be required for the annual installation of 1 gigawatt.

2030 Targets and Economic Impacts

Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB) President İbrahim Erden stated that offshore wind energy will provide a strategic transformation. Бул инвестициялар энергетикалык өндүрүштү гана эмес, ошондой эле кеңири экономикалык экосистеманы түзөт. Thanks to its strong production infrastructure and engineering capability, Turkey can become a center providing equipment and services on a regional scale.

According to TÜREB Vice President Ufuk Yaman, Türkiye's offshore wind potential is predicted to be 75 gigawatts. Биринчи 1 гигаватт кубаттуулукту бөлүштүрүү келечекте чоң рыноктун башталышы болот. In accordance with the planned schedule, the first power plants are expected to come into operation in 2030.

According to World Bank scenarios, a 3.5 gigawatt installation by 2040 has the potential to create an economic contribution of 4 billion dollars and 32 thousand job years. In a development scenario of 7 gigawatts, this contribution may reach up to 16 billion dollars and 110 thousand business years.

Conclusion and Future Expectations

Turkey aims to increase energy diversity and expand the share of renewable resources with offshore wind energy investments. These steps will increase the country's energy independence within the framework of sustainable energy policies and contribute to economic growth. Келечектеги өнүгүүлөр менен Түркиянын бул тармакта дагы да алдыга жылып, аймактык энергетика борборуна айланышы күтүлүүдө.
