The upcoming YEKA tenders in Turkey are set to be a catalyst for substantial investments in renewable energy projects. With auctions for 1,200 MW of wind and 800 MW of solar power, the country aims to drive billions of dollars in investments, focusing on solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, hydropower, and even hydrogen. President Ali Rıza Öner highlighted Turkey's ambitious plan of $108 billion in energy transformation investments by 2035, stressing the importance of alternative energy sources. The annual YEKA tenders with 2,000 MW capacity until 2035 are pivotal in achieving the target of 120,000 MW solar and wind power capacity. Additionally, the renewable energy support scheme has been crucial in utilizing waste disposal facilities to generate power, meeting the electricity needs of over a million households. However, the looming expiration of the support scheme for many facilities poses a threat, emphasizing the necessity to extend purchase guarantee periods by another decade to prevent companies from exiting the waste disposal sector, which could lead to environmental challenges.
