In keeping with the information in Dünya Newspaper, Turkey’s vitality sector was mentioned on the Horizon Tour Panel in Sectors organized in cooperation with the German-Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Business (AHK) Turkey and DÜNYA Newspaper. Within the panel moderated by DÜNYA Newspaper (NBE) Chairman of the Board Hakan Güldağ and DÜNYA Newspaper Coordinator Didem Eryar Ünlü; Reminding that Turkey has the largest present account deficit within the vitality sector, the audio system stated that Turkey’s changing into an vitality exporter nation, due to the latest success in renewable vitality manufacturing and business, particularly wind and photo voltaic, the vitality disaster in Europe and the developments in hydrogen vitality. They emphasised that it was not a dream.
Turkey and Germany will collectively produce hydrogen
Making the opening speech of the panel hosted by Ateş Çelik, AHK Vitality Working Group Member and Enercon Central Asia, Center East and Africa Regional Supervisor Arif Günyar acknowledged that AHK gives providers with 141 representatives in 92 international locations and stated, “It has workplaces in Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara in Turkey. there’s. It has near a thousand members, largely within the manufacturing business,” he stated. Stating that the overall put in energy within the Turkish vitality market is over 100 GW, Günyar stated, “Wind energy crops get a share of over 10 p.c and solar energy crops round 8-9 p.c from this. These numbers are rising. An vitality working group was established inside AHK in 2011 to develop Turkish-German cooperation in vitality. In 2012, a platform was established below the identify of the Turkish-German Vitality Discussion board. Crucial steps have been taken on this platform, during which the private and non-private sector participated. The 4th of this platform was held in Germany on 11 October. Right here, a memorandum of understanding on the beginning and acceleration of inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing was signed between Turkey and Germany. It will be important that Germany wants this mission as a result of present conjuncture and that it’s the importer on this inexperienced mission.”
Explaining that Enercon, as a wind turbine producer, noticed the chance within the sector 30-35 years in the past, Günyar stated, “Lastly, we signed a thousand MW contract with EnerjiSa. Turkey is at present writing a hit story on the earth. We’re the primary firm that believes in Turkey and builds the primary turbine. We now have now created a provide chain of over 250 with our subsidiaries in Turkey. There are almost 30 thousand workers on this ecosystem. Turkey will now not develop in wind vitality, however a developed nation. An annual quantity is required for this to proceed. This yr, Germany has declared that it’ll improve the present fee of renewable vitality sources by one hundred pc, from 40 p.c to 80 p.c by 2030. This implies 10 GW of mission potential yearly. As individuals who have devoted themselves to this enterprise investing in Turkey, we predict that the general public will act with us and serve to make these investments, each by way of Turkey being a manufacturing heart and our buyers investing in Europe.” Emphasizing that the variety of alternatives within the sector is greater than the variety of threats, Günyar stated, “We’re in a really dynamic world. The businesses that handle this course of in one of the best ways survive. We’re used to this in Turkey, however as a result of Europeans should not used to it, they seek the advice of us to fight single-digit inflation. As Enercon, we didn’t see Turkey as only a market, we made it a manufacturing base. We now have work to carry prototypes and new applied sciences. However in Turkey, there isn’t a laws concerning this. We should be a growing nation, not only a producer.”
Turkey in the course of historic alternative
Gökhan Serdar, the EMEA and India Vice President of TPI Composites, the world’s largest unbiased blade producer from the USA, acknowledged that they positioned Turkey as a manufacturing heart and stated, “With our 4 thousand 250 workers in our 2 factories in İzmir, we’ve roughly one thousand generators, that’s, greater than 3 thousand blades per yr. we produce. The wind market in Turkey has additionally created an amazing alternative for the business within the final 10 years. Many elements, particularly the wing, tower and generator, are actually made in Turkey. Beforehand, the inexperienced transformation was seen as an mental work or romanticism. The vitality disaster has proven that the inexperienced transition is inevitable. We now have a critical alternative as an business in Turkey. As a result of along with the truth that we’ve 4-5 instances the present wind potential in Turkey, there’s additionally a rising market in Europe”. Explaining that Turkey is in the course of a historic alternative, Serdar stated, “Germany will set up 10 thousand MW wind energy crops by 2030, and Europe will quadruple its installations. Components for these generators should not straightforward to fabricate in Europe and should not thought-about a great possibility in Asia. We’re on the heart of the enterprise. At present, we’ve an put in energy of 20 thousand MW in wind and photo voltaic, however we’ve no less than 10 instances the potential. Europe will want hydrogen. We may also be hydrogen exporters. Or we are able to export it as electrical energy. As a result of inexperienced vitality is required to supply hydrogen. This is a matter that may change our future as a rustic. That is why we should always give attention to this by strengthening our incentive mechanisms, our infrastructures, and rising the installations. We see this within the ministry and paperwork. We have to flip this focus into outcomes”.
might be out this month
EnerjiSa Manufacturing CEO İhsan Erbil Bayçöl additionally defined that they’ve a complete put in energy of three,700 MW in 22 energy crops, 56 p.c of which is obtained from home and renewable assets. Mentioning that they meet about 5 p.c of Turkey’s consumption, Bayçöl stated, “We’re the market chief, however we aren’t happy with this. Our objective is to succeed in an put in energy of over 5,000 MW, of which 1,500 MW is from wind. We assumed the funding duty for the whole YEKA 2 and signed a contract with Enercon. Thus, we’ll improve Turkey’s put in wind energy by almost 10 p.c. We can’t successfully use our energy within the wind and the solar. Turkey has a minimal of 40 thousand MW wind potential. Germany has 60 thousand MW solar energy crops. We are able to take this quantity as our route. Whereas rising the momentum in renewable vitality investments, we additionally must turn out to be Europe’s resolution associate in inexperienced hydrogen. We’re a rustic that all the time takes vitality from exterior. For the primary time, the chance to energise exterior is in entrance of us in a really tangible means. We must always not miss this chance. Turkey realizes its renewable capability, turns into a worldwide participant in inexperienced hydrogen, turns into an answer and provide heart in wind applied sciences for the entire world, so we are able to obtain win-win ends in just a few subjects. That is additionally thrilling,” he stated. Stating that the Ministry of Vitality will publish the Wind Vitality Technique Doc on the finish of this month, Bayçöl stated, “We felt the shortage of it. If 10, 20, 30-year targets are set, we place ourselves accordingly. It doesn’t matter what objective we set, we are able to solely do it with individuals. Sadly, we’ve misplaced our skilled individuals overseas for the final yr. Research on batteries, inexperienced hydrogen and renewable vitality can carry Turkey to an vital place. It could provide vitality not just for itself, but in addition for the close by geography. Manpower, financing components and the power of the community to just accept new energy crops stand out as the topics that have to be centered on this path.”
Turkey might have an opportunity
Whereas there are uncertainties in lots of fields in Turkey, the way forward for inexperienced vitality could be very clear, DÜNYA Newspaper (NBE) Chairman of the Board Hakan Güldağ stated, “Vitality, which we see because the primary cause for the present account deficit, is a candidate to be Turkey’s probability.

Tomorrow and the subsequent day, we are able to obtain this with the appropriate steps we’ll soak up vitality in an surroundings the place the sensitivity of trade charges decreases. Competitors is alive, innovation continues. It is vitally attainable to transform potentials to kinetic vitality by renewable vitality.”
Success within the wind
Yasemin Kuytak, Director of the Turkey Consultant Workplace of KfW IPEX-Financial institution, the finance establishment of the German state, identified that they largely function within the discipline of mission finance and stated: “On this respect, the renewable vitality sector is essential for us. As in the remainder of the world, we supported the sector with very excessive quantity of loans. We do that with the help of export credit score establishments in Europe. Particularly German Hermes and Danish EKF supported us as two main organizations. Our portfolio in Turkey is roughly 1 billion Euros. Greater than half of this consists of renewable vitality initiatives. There’s a finance membership fashioned by 27 improvement banks, which contributed a complete of 224 billion euros to the vitality transition in 2021. 50 billion euros of this belongs to KfW.” Summarizing an important cause for Turkey’s improvement within the wind, Kuytak stated, “This example has began to decelerate now, the inventory of financeable initiatives has decreased rather a lot. Up to now, the acquisition assure in YEKDEM (Renewable Vitality Sources Assist Mechanism) was in {dollars}. This has been modified. It doesn’t create an simply financed scenario for bankers. It’s important to take the foreign money danger. No financial institution has had issues with the initiatives thus far, however that does not imply it will not occur. Perhaps it might be extra useful to proceed in constructions that may remove the trade fee danger once more. The best mission can all the time be financed with the appropriate buyers.”
No double-digit income
Explaining that they manufacture turbines and towers for wind energy crops, Mahmut Güldoğan, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Administrators of Ateş Wind Energy, stated, “We now have despatched over 320 turbines to many components of the world thus far. We now have an annual capability of near 1 GW. We produce towers that may serve 1.5GW yearly. We now have two extra main investments below development in Bergama OSB. Wind vitality is a topic that may be a mannequin for a lot of sectors in Turkey. Whereas we produce our personal vitality with our home assets, it is a mannequin that improves our expertise, business and employment. The alternatives outweigh the threats within the business. Maybe an important risk is entry to vitality. That is why we’ve to comply with the threats with the nook of our eye whereas chasing alternatives.” Stating that the sector brings collectively many good issues similar to lowering the present account deficit, lowering vitality costs, rising industrial manufacturing, creating employment, offering financing from overseas, and contributing to the world with clear vitality, Güldoğan stated, “In fact, there are a lot of threats. We can’t see what’s going to occur tomorrow. These uncertainties on the earth are above us like Damocles’ sword. For these, we should always conduct such a clear communication with the general public in order that we are able to resolve the brand new uncertainty that we are going to encounter day by day. The general public can also be conscious of this. Wind is the most affordable vitality supply. That is why there’s nice competitors. We function below value stress. No enterprise is seeing double-digit income. If we don’t produce for five weeks a yr, we’re dropping. Potential initiatives must exist, keep alive, be lifelike. If there aren’t any initiatives in Turkey, new applied sciences won’t come. That is additionally vital for export. Our funding functionality is restricted to human assets. Our home mission infrastructure must be robust and our logistics alternatives have to be improved,” he stated.
