Market stage
Early-stage market where offshore wind activity is starting to form and the route to delivery is still emerging.
Turkey
Turkey offshore wind overview.
Turkey has no operating or awarded commercial offshore-wind projects. Four candidate YEKA areas have been identified off Saros Bay, Gokceada, Bozcaada and Edremit. The first 1,000 MW offshore YEKA tender is at draft stage; the Ministry plans a final notice in September 2026 and the competition in Q1 2027. Turkey's target is 5 GW by 2035.Europe85.9m people

Electricity system
Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation (TEIAS) operates the national transmission system and load dispatch, while the Energy Market Regulatory Authority regulates electricity-market licences and tariffs. The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources runs YEKA competitions, and the draft offshore scheme would pay the winning electricity purchase price through YEKDEM.
Grid context
The draft YEKA DURES-2026 specification would allocate 1,000 MW of connection capacity. The selected developer would be responsible for the project's studies, permits, pre-licence and licence, while qualifying transmission-tariff costs and eligible curtailment losses would be paid through YEKDEM during the draft 27-year purchase period.
