Wind Energy in Türkiye 2025: YEKA, Capacity and Investment Outlook
Wind capacity passed 14 GW, YEKA tenders continue and the 2035 target is 120 GW. A snapshot of Türkiye's wind energy in 2025 and the investor opportunity.
Wind capacity in 2025
Per TEİAŞ data, wind capacity rose to 14,152 MW in July 2025, with solar at 24,371 MW. By November 2025, wind + solar combined reached 39,215 MW — solar at 20.3% and wind at 11.9% of total capacity.
YEKA and tenders
Renewable Energy Resource Area (YEKA) tenders are a primary growth tool. The 2025 plan foresaw solar tenders in October and wind in November, targeting at least 2,000 MW of YEKA tenders each year.
The 2035 target
Türkiye aims to raise combined wind and solar capacity to 120,000 MW by 2035, said to require around $80 billion of investment — a long-term opportunity window on both generation and storage.
The investor opportunity
Alongside pure wind, wind + storage and hybrid plant setups stand out because they manage variability and layer returns. Egesa unites the wind and storage verticals under one engineering standard.
