Turkey's installed wind power capacity reached approximately 14.5 GW by the end of 2025, representing 11.8% of total installed generation capacity. Combined with solar, wind and solar exceeded 39.2 GW — approaching parity with fossil fuel generation. Turkey aims to quadruple wind and solar capacity to 120 GW by 2035, as announced at COP29, with wind expected to play a major role given only 27% of the estimated 48 GW potential is currently installed.
Turkey's wind resources are concentrated along the Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines, the Marmara region, and elevated central Anatolian sites. The country has developed domestic manufacturing capability for wind turbine components, though complete turbine production remains largely dependent on European technology from Siemens Gamesa, Vestas, and GE. Several Turkish companies manufacture towers, nacelle components, and blades.
The Renewable Energy 2035 Roadmap's ambitious targets create substantial market opportunity for both deployment and indigenous manufacturing. As Turkey scales toward 48 GW wind capacity, the economics increasingly favor domestic manufacturing of major components, potentially positioning Turkey as a regional hub for wind energy equipment serving Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.
