Based on 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 most important present account deficit within the vitality sector, the audio system stated that Turkey’s turning 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 Power 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 nations and stated, “It has places of work in Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara in Turkey. there may be. It has near a thousand members, principally 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 vegetation get a share of over 10 p.c and solar energy vegetation 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 beneath the title of the Turkish-German Power Discussion board. Crucial steps had 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 is crucial that Germany wants this venture as a result of present conjuncture and that it’s the importer on this inexperienced venture.”
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 successful story on the planet. 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 practically 30 thousand workers on this ecosystem. Turkey will 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 charge of renewable vitality sources by 100%, from 40 p.c to 80 p.c by 2030. This implies 10 GW of venture 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 middle 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 simplest ways survive. We’re used to this in Turkey, however as a result of Europeans aren’t 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 convey prototypes and new applied sciences. However in Turkey, there isn’t a laws relating to this. We have to 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 middle and stated, “With our 4 thousand 250 workers in our 2 factories in İzmir, we have now roughly one thousand generators, that’s, greater than 3 thousand blades per yr. we produce. The wind market in Turkey has additionally created an incredible alternative for the business within the final 10 years. Many elements, particularly the wing, tower and generator, at the moment are 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 severe alternative as an business in Turkey. As a result of along with the truth that we have now 4-5 instances the present wind potential in Turkey, there may be 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 vegetation by 2030, and Europe will quadruple its installations. Elements for these generators aren’t simple to fabricate in Europe and aren’t thought-about possibility in Asia. We’re on the middle of the enterprise. At present, we have now an put in energy of 20 thousand MW in wind and photo voltaic, however we have now at the very least 10 instances the potential. Europe will want hydrogen. We may also be hydrogen exporters. Or we will 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 deal with 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”.
shall 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 vegetation, 56 p.c of which is obtained from home and renewable assets. Stating that they meet about 5 p.c of Turkey’s consumption, Bayçöl stated, “We’re the market chief, however we’re not happy with this. Our aim 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 all the YEKA 2 and signed a contract with Enercon. Thus, we’ll improve Turkey’s put in wind energy by practically 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 vegetation. We will take this quantity as our route. Whereas rising the momentum in renewable vitality investments, we additionally have to turn into Europe’s answer accomplice in inexperienced hydrogen. We’re a rustic that at all times takes vitality from exterior. For the primary time, the chance to energise exterior is in entrance of us in a really tangible method. We should always not miss this chance. Turkey realizes its renewable capability, turns into a world participant in inexperienced hydrogen, turns into an answer and provide middle in wind applied sciences for the entire world, so we will obtain win-win ends in a couple of subjects. That is additionally thrilling,” he stated. Stating that the Ministry of Power will publish the Wind Power 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 aim we set, we will solely do it with individuals. Sadly, we have now misplaced our educated individuals overseas for the final yr. Research on batteries, inexperienced hydrogen and renewable vitality can convey Turkey to an necessary place. It could provide vitality not just for itself, but additionally for the close by geography. Manpower, financing parts and the power of the community to just accept new energy vegetation stand out as the themes that must be targeted on this path.”
Turkey could 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, “Power, which we see because the primary cause for the present account deficit, is a candidate to be Turkey’s probability. As a result of it affords an incredible alternative for us to seize the spirit of time. It appears that it’ll cut back the present account deficit and permit us to have a surplus in vitality. Tomorrow and the following day, we will obtain this with the proper steps we’ll soak up vitality in an setting the place the sensitivity of trade charges decreases. Competitors is alive, innovation continues. It is extremely doable to transform potentials to kinetic vitality via 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 principally function within the subject of venture 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 assist 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 shaped 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 a very powerful cause for Turkey’s improvement within the wind, Kuytak stated, “This example has began to decelerate now, the inventory of financeable initiatives has decreased loads. Up to now, the acquisition assure in YEKDEM (Renewable Power Assets Help Mechanism) was in {dollars}. This has been modified. It doesn’t create an simply financed state of affairs for bankers. You must take the forex danger. No financial institution has had issues with the initiatives up to now, however that does not imply it will not occur. Possibly it will be extra useful to proceed in buildings that may eradicate the trade charge danger once more. The precise venture can at all times be financed with the proper buyers.”
No double-digit earnings
Explaining that they manufacture turbines and towers for wind energy vegetation, 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 up to now. 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 beneath building 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, this can be a mannequin that improves our know-how, business and employment. The alternatives outweigh the threats within the business. Maybe a very powerful risk is entry to vitality. That is why we have now to comply with the threats with the nook of our eye whereas chasing alternatives.” Stating that the sector brings collectively many good issues equivalent to decreasing the present account deficit, decreasing vitality costs, rising industrial manufacturing, creating employment, offering financing from overseas, and contributing to the world with clear vitality, Güldoğan stated, “After all, there are numerous threats. We can’t see what is going to occur tomorrow. These uncertainties on the planet are above us like Damocles’ sword. For these, we should always conduct such a clear communication with the general public in order that we will resolve the brand new uncertainty that we’ll encounter every single day. The general public can be conscious of this. Wind is the most affordable vitality supply. That is why there may be nice competitors. We function beneath value strain. No enterprise is seeing double-digit earnings. If we don’t produce for five weeks a yr, we’re dropping. Potential initiatives have to exist, keep alive, be life like. If there are not any initiatives in Turkey, new applied sciences is not going to come. That is additionally necessary for export. Our funding functionality is restricted to human assets. Our home venture infrastructure must be sturdy and our logistics alternatives must be improved,” he stated.
