At the end of the four-day bidding period, pre-licenses for a total of 2,130 megawatts of wind power for 32 plants across Turkey will be granted.
Committed to increasing the share of domestic and renewable resources in energy generation, Turkey launched another series of wind power contracts and once the four-day bidding process ends megawatts will be added to the existing capacity
The first round of wind power tenders to establish wind power plants across Turkey, which was closely monitored by Energy and Natural Resources Minister Berat Albayrak, was completed yesterday. On the first day of tenders, which will run through Dec. 29, bids for 430 megawatts (MW) of wind power were collected for eight regions, while 110 energy firms participated in the tender. During the four-day tender, an aggregate amount of 2,130 MW of wind power capacity will be auctioned, and plants will be established in 32 different points across Turkey. On June 21-23, pre-licenses for 710 MW of wind power capacity in 11 regions were issued by the Turkish Electricity Transmission Company (TEİAŞ).

110 companies bid for wind power plants

While 110 companies sent their bids for eight regions with a total wind power capacity of 430 MW, the companies with winning bids according to region are as follows:

For the Amasya-Samsun (60 MW) region, Doğages Elektrik Üretim A.Ş.'s Doğages Wind Energy Plant (RES) project ($-0.88) received a capacity of 49 MW, while Ekores Enerji Üretim A.Ş.'s Taşova RES project ($-0.55) acquired an 11 MW-capacity.

For the Çorum-Kastamonu-Sinop (70 MW) region, RES Anatolia Holding A.Ş.'s Topaz RES project ($-0.66) and Ekores Enerji Üretim A.Ş.'s Kozcu RES project ($-0.71) acquired a capacity of 65 MW and 5 MW, respectively.

For Antalya (100 MW), on the other hand, Enyat Enerji A.Ş.'s Alanya RES project ($-1.18) acquired a capacity of 50 MW, while Dere Enerji A.Ş. received a total of 20 MW with 10 MW for the D3 RES project ($-0.57) and 10 MW for the D1 RES project ($-0.48), followed by Akhisar Enerji A.Ş.'s Dökükdağı project (-$0.52) with 30 MW-capacity.

The two projects that applied for the Bitlis-Muş (40 MW) region shared 40 MW equally. Difer Enerji A.Ş.'s Miskevank RES project ($7.10) received a 20 MW-capacity, while Beres Elektirk Üretim A.Ş.'s Örenlik RES project ($6.95) acquired the remaining half.

For the Bolu-Düzce-Sakarya (30 MW) region, Günışığıges Elektrik Üretim A.Ş.'s Günışığıges project ($3.78) acquired the whole capacity with 30 MW.

For Elazığ (40 MW) region, Buca Rüzgar Güneş Üretim A.Ş.'s Buca RES project ($-0.63) received the full capacity of 40 MW.

For the Gaziantep-Kilis (40 MW) region, Lacivert Yenilenebilir Enerji Üretim A.Ş.'nin Lacivert RES project ($-1.63) received a capacity allocation of 40 MW.

For Istanbul (50 MW), Gelgit Yenilenebilir Enerji Üretim A.Ş.'nin Gelgit RES project ($-1.71) received a capacity allocation of 49.5 MW, while the remaining 0.5 MW capacity was accepted by Polat Enerji A.Ş.'s Istanbul RES project ($-0.65).

2017: Gone with the wind

Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB) Chairman Mustafa Serdar Ataseven said that 2017 was a productive year in terms of wind energy, recalling that a $5 billion investment will be realized for the 4,000 MW bidding this year along with the 1,000 MW tender held for the Renewable Energy Resource Area (YEKA) throughout the year in wind.

"Pre-licenses will be received after the bidding, and the process for construction permits will begin. Wind plant operations of the companies that won tenders will be commissioned within a period of approximately three to four years," Ataseven said.

By the end of 2016, the installed capacity of wind energy plants in operation was 5,751 MW, according to the Energy Ministry data.

Wind power plants are to be developed as part of the Renewable Energy Resource Zone (YEKA) project, which was devised and developed by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources to expand the share of domestic resources in energy and decrease Turkey's dependency on external resources.

Accordingly, in early August, a Turkish-German consortium, consisting of Siemens Gamesa-Türkerler-Kalyon, won the tender for wind power renewable energy areas by offering $3.48 per kilowatt hours (kWh), which was $10.3 per kWh for wind power.

Meanwhile, Turkey's wind energy sector attracted more than $12.3 billion in investments over the past 11 years, the Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB) said last week.

The investment has boosted the country's installed capacity from 146 megawatts (MW) in 2007 to its current 6,500 MW.

By the end of the year, plans to generate 1 gigawatt (GW) under the Turkish Renewable Energy Resource Zone (YEKA) project, along with a number of finalized wind energy tenders to generate another 3 GW, will push investments in the sector to $5 billion in 2017 alone.

Among the Turkish cities, İzmir on the Aegean coast ranked first with 1,333 MW of total installed capacity. It was followed by Balıkesir in the Marmara region with 1,069 MW, and Manisa with 650 MW.

Currently, some 158 wind energy companies operate in the country and 32 projects with an installed capacity of 808 MW were under construction.

According to recent data, Turkey generates 8 percent of its electricity from wind energy. TÜREB President Mustafa Serdar Ataseven said Turkey boosted its wind energy capacity and attracted a substantial amount of foreign and local investments over the last five years.

"With the addition of another 2,130 MW to our installed capacity, to be finalized by the end of the year, a significant contribution to Turkey's wind market will be realized," he said. "After finalizing the tenders and YEKA project, Turkey's wind capacity will grow by around 4 GW in roughly three to four years."

He said for the sustainability of Turkey's expanding wind energy sector, the country should make use of private investment to meet the growing demand.

"Despite the investments and tenders, there will be an investment and capacity gap between 2018 and 2019," he said. "In order to meet demands, investors who have environmental impact assessment reports and electricity generation licenses should be provided with more electricity capacity to grow their investments and installed capacity." According to the General Directorate of Renewable Energy studies, Turkey's techno-economic wind energy potential of 48 GW but currently, only 11 GW of project stock is available. Turkey currently has an 11 GW of wind power stock available and has set a national target of 20 GW of installed capacity by 2023. The country's total energy target for 2023 is 100 GW.

Kaçak elektriğin en yaygın olduğu ilk 10 ilde kes elektriği bir aylığına komple kışın ortasında, bak nasıl ödüyor hırsız orspu çocukları. Kaçak elektrik kullanarak bitcoin basıyorlar buna da hükümet göz yumuyor. Sonra biz burada goygoy yapalım "yenilenebilir enerji bizi kurtaracak" diye. Sen koyduğun 1MW yenilenebilir enerjiye adam 2MW elektrik çalarak karşılık veriyor.

If I remember correct Diyarbakir had an unpaid electric bill, but when the company wanted to shut down the delivery problems arose.

I think the best we can do is install security cameras, and trace those who use the illegal electricity and give them a jail sentence.

with security camera, we'd need security guards to patrol these areas. and hopefully install motion sensors and such.
 
.
If everything fails you can tax the people indirectly if they refuse to pay their electricity bills. Just needs some creativity, but that problem can be solved.

Good point but I think cutting off the power to the whole city is a little too drastic. There are subscribers who do pay.

We need to introduce prison sentences for power theft. It should be treated as the theft of any public property.

Also, we can introduce cash rewards or price discounts for those who blow the whistle on power theft in their area. Make people turn in their neighbors!

They don't have to cut off actually, electricity cuts off itself when those thiefs try to steal electricity all together, and then company sends teams to repair lines.

Just don't repair.

Those who subscribed can sue others if they want. If they don't stand up for their own city, nobody can.

Not going to work. It's going to cause people to riot. We should isolate those who don't pay, not unite all of them against the government. You can't leave a whole city without power in the middle of the winter. Mistreating a whole city full of people, families, children will only help the PKK spread its propaganda and find new recruits more easily.

It isn't always the fault of the people. Let me give you an example: My grandma is living in a rural area of Eastern Anatolia. She has a few komşu/buildings surrounding her property. Now all of them are connected to just one (!) power meter. Why??? İ freaking don't know. This way noone knows how much electricity each single family or building is consuming. On top of that, my grandma is only living 3 or at max 4 months per year in her house but she has to pay the bill every month. The power company is just splitting the overall costs by the number of the property owners in her area.
Why should I care about paying if my neighbour is practically paying the bill for me? Why should I save energy if my bill is artificially low due to the faulty system?

In addition, why should I pay my electricity bill if the state isn't able to provide a proper infrastructure? No gas connection, no water connection, shitty roads, no jobs - in short: no public supply -> no payment. What do you expect?

Turkey added 1.17 GW of solar in December alone
According to new figures from the local grid operator, Turkey’s cumulative installed PV capacity has reached 3.42 GW, as of the end of 2017. The end-of-year rush was due to the 25% FIT reduction granted to unlicensed projects, which came into effect on January 1.

That is a lot. But why only 7 months of 2017, does it mean that overall for renewable energy is lower if you look at the whole year ?
