Central anatolia has vast unused land and many sun hours per year, why are they wasting this potential, solar energy is basically non existent in those charts.
Solar energy farm in California.
When it comes to energy projects, the government is working to slow. But in this particularly topic regarding solar energy development I have to admit they are on the right track. The gov't doesn't want to buy solar panels and technology off the shelve from foreign companies anymore. That's why they have implemented the strictest local content rules for PV worldwide. Any company that wants to win the 1,3-Billion-USD tender at the end of this month hast to offer a great share of ToT.

The project stipulates using domestic technology, research and development (R&D) studies and employing 80 percent domestic engineers. All processes required to create a solar model will be actualized in Turkey. This is a stipulation that will pave the way for technology-based domestic production in the country. The government will encourage the successful bidding companies to start energy production as soon as possible considering that the 15-year period of guarantee of purchase will include the production process. As such, the power plant will start producing domestic energy toward the end of 2018. The government also laid down a condition to produce at least 65 percent domestic energy in the first phase and 75 percent in the second phase.
The power plant will provide jobs for at least 1,000 technical staff, including 700 during the construction process, 350 in the operation process, 350 in R&D studies and 100 in engineering studies. (...)
