Wind Power Market in Turkey

Erkan Erdogdu, Turkish renewable energy expert

An increase in negative effects of fossil fuels on the environment has forced many countries, including Turkey, to use renewable energy sources. The EU has set a binding target of 20 per cent of its energy supply to come from renewable resources by 2010 – with wind power expected to deliver 12 to 14 percent of the total demand. As an associate member of the EU since 1963 and an official candidate since 1999, Turkey will certainly be influenced by these and similar policies.
