Türkiye is the leader of the global wind industry, one of the most important investment addresses
Türkiye, which has great potential in all disciplines of renewable energy resources with its geographical location, tectonic structure and climate, is becoming the address for investments on a global scale with the “National Energy Action Plan” announced by the public authority to the whole world in 2023.
Türkiye, which has exceeded the installed power level of 12 thousand MW in wind energy as of July 2024, ranks 12th in the world and 5th in Europe with this success. With more than 4 thousand wind turbines in 280 power plants built with more than 100 local and foreign investors, wind alone meets 11 percent of Turkey’s electricity needs.
While we care about this important success of Türkiye, which aims to commission at least 1500 MW of wind energy installed power every year until 2035, we know that we are far below our country’s potential.
According to the National Energy Action Plan, Türkiye’s wind energy installed power will increase to 29 thousand 600 MW in 2035. Among this installed capacity, our offshore wind energy installed power will be only 5 thousand MW.
This goal tells us:
We will do approximately 3 times more in the next 12 years than we did in the last 26 years.
In other words, we have a lot of work to do in the wind energy sector, we have a long way to go and we won’t have a minute to waste.
In offshore wind energy, where we are at zero point today, our potential installed power, announced by the World Bank and whose measurement has been completed, is at the level of 75 thousand MW.
Our installed capacity target is one 15th of our potential.
In light of all this data, we, as the Energy Industrialists and Business Association (ENSİA), are working to ensure that our country has a say in the wind industry.
Chairman of the Board of ENSİA Alper Kalaycı
As ENSIA, which attaches importance to companies based in Turkey having a say and decisions at every stage of the value chain created by the industry, we are participating in WindEnergy Hamburg, one of the most important global meeting points of wind energy, to introduce the potential of our country and to create value for our members as a cluster. For this reason, we have very high expectations from WindEnergy Hamburg, with our companies producing in the main and sub-industries of the industry.
ENSİA, which has the vision of “transforming Turkey into an international center producing equipment, technology and projects in the field of clean energy”, adopts creating accurate information and awareness about the clean energy sector as its main goal.
Our Association employs more than 60 thousand members; As of today, it is a non-governmental organization capable of managing two European Union-funded projects and one Ur-Ge ( Supporting the Development of International Competitiveness) project at the same time…
Likewise; We share the problems, expectations and suggestions that closely concern our sector with our public and decision makers through our press; We record our constructive and restorative suggestions in the corporate memory of our sector.
In this regard, we need to underline that we are among the most active civil society organizations in the Turkish energy sector.
We are going to implement projects that will create more value for our industry and our members, together, with common sense, and by taking reason and science as our guide. With these thoughts, we say hi to ‘’WindEnergy Hamburg’’.
One of Türkiye’s most important gatherings for the wind energy sector, the Türkiye Wind Energy Congress (TÜREK) 2026, will take place on 12–13 May 2026 in Ankara. Organized by the Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB), the congress is expected to bring together industry representatives, investors, public authorities and technology providers.
The event will be hosted at Sheraton Ankara Hotel & Convention Center. Discussions during the congress are expected to focus on key topics such as wind energy investments, energy transition policies, grid infrastructure, storage technologies and offshore wind developments.
Held annually, the TÜREK Congress has become a key platform for the wind energy industry in Türkiye. Panels and technical sessions provide an opportunity for stakeholders to assess the current state of the sector while discussing future strategies and policy developments.
With Türkiye’s wind power capacity continuing to grow and new investment projects emerging across the country, TÜREK remains an important meeting point for project developers, equipment manufacturers and technology providers seeking collaboration opportunities within the sector.
Wind Energy Magazine among media partners
Wind Energy Magazine, a sector-focused publication covering developments in the Turkish wind industry, is among the media partners of TÜREK 2026. The magazine will continue to share updates and sector insights related to the event with its international readership.
Further information about TÜREK 2026 and the event programme can be found on the official website of the Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB).
Izmir has become the Capital of Wind Energy with its Wind Power Plants, Blade and Tower Production Facilities, Engineering, Consultancy, R&D, Installation, Service, Maintenance Companies, Sub-industries, Project Developers, Measurement and Testing Firms, Investors, and Associations and Professional Chambers operating in the field of wind energy.
The 8th IZMIR WIND SYMPOSIUM and EXHIBITION, to be organized by TMMOB Chamber of Electrical Engineers, Chamber of Civil Engineers and Chamber of Mechanical Engineers Izmir Branches at MMO Tepekule Congress and Exhibition Center on 28-29 November 2025, is one of the events with the most intense technical content of the sector. We are excited to come together with the components of the sector in Izmir, the “Capital of Wind Energy”, and organize this important event.
The 8th IZMIR WIND SYMPOSIUM AND EXHIBITION serves as a platform where sector stakeholders come together to discuss the latest developments in the field of wind energy and share future technologies.

A larger exhibition area with a redesigned event layout to increase business and networking opportunities. Greater international scope with the involvement of an increasing number of buyers, delegations and qualified operators from all over the world. Focus on innovation and the green skills needed to achieve the energy transition. New projects and thematic areas for a complete view of the energy of the future.
These are the credentials with which the new edition of KEY – The Energy Transition Expo, the event organised by IEG (Italian Exhibition Group) on energy transition and efficiency, a reference point in Europe, Africa and the Mediterranean basin, is presenting itself.
The new appointment, scheduled from 5th to 7th March 2025 at Rimini Expo Centre, is set to become the largest ever, breaking its own records starting from the number of exhibiting brands, expected to increase by more than 20%.
KEY’s Technical-Scientific Committee’s schedule of meetings will also be brimming with international events, confirming the event as a unique opportunity for training, information and professional updating, even on topics not previously addressed at the event, such as nuclear power and Artificial Intelligence. They will range from agrivoltaics to Renewable Energy Communities, green residential and industrial redevelopment, electric mobility, hydrogen, the role of local administrations, reflections on energy cost containment, regulatory aspects and new financial opportunities.
KEY 2025 will consolidate its role as a global reference network capable of bringing together all the players involved in the energy transition and favouring meetings, debates and dialogue with the Institutions. The aim it to create a system and contribute to speeding up the decarbonisation process. Moreover, the event also provides a privileged opportunity for companies and professionals that want to rationalise their consumption and reduce the energy and environmental impact of their activities, to learn about possible solutions and the latest technologies available on the market.
The new layout
With over 90,000 m2 of exhibition area, KEY’s new layout includes the very first opening of the West Entrance, an addition to the South and East Entrances. The layout of the halls has also been reorganised, a total of 20 compared to the 16 at the 2024 edition, equally distributed along the East and West wings of the Expo Centre. The seven product sectors – solar and photovoltaic, wind energy, hydrogen, energy storage, energy efficiency, electric mobility and sustainable cities – are all confirmed, flanked by special areas dedicated to transversal projects, networking, innovation and training.
The new arrangement aims to plot a defined exhibition route through the seven, well-defined yet interconnected thematic areas, maximise existing synergies and improve the visitor experience. Furthermore, the variety of sectors represented at KEY will make it possible to create specific routes with personalised in-depth discussions.
The layout’s new features include an enhancement of the hydrogen area and a thematic focus on ports:
HYPE – Hydrogen Power Expo supported by Hydrogen & Fuel Cells: a real trade show organised by Italian Exhibition Group and Hannover Fairs International GmbH (HFI), the Italian branch of Deutsche Messe AG, where the topic of hydrogen and its importance for the energy transition will be explored
Support – Sustainable Ports for Energy Transition: an exhibition focus, to be inaugurated at KEY 2025, dedicated to the electrification of port docks, essential for reducing emissions, promoting sustainability in ports and accelerating the development of off-shore wind power, particularly floating wind farms.
Enhancing green talent and skills
For the first time, KEY will host the Green Jobs & Skill initiative to foster the encounter between labour market supply and demand with the aim of helping to bridge the green skills gap that is still common within companies. The project is a valuable training and career guidance opportunity for students and young workers, but also an opportunity for companies to meet potential candidates and intercept the most promising talents.
The first KEY Call for Papers is addressed to scholars, researchers, professionals and innovators: participants will be able to submit their own abstract on renewable energy and energy transition topics. The selected papers will be published by the new scientific journal QualEnergia Scienze and some of them may also be discussed in the conferences organised during the three-day event.
