The accelerating global energy transition requires countries to develop new strategic orientations in line with their climate change mitigation and low-carbon development objectives. At the core of this transformation lie renewable energy solutions that rely on domestic resources while minimizing environmental impacts. In this context, offshore wind energy stands out with its considerable technical potential and growing investment appeal.
This report provides a multidimensional analysis of offshore wind energy, examining the evolution of technologies, global practices, and the structural and technical dynamics encountered throughout investment processes. It further evaluates Türkiye’s current position, potential resource areas, regulatory framework, and strategic roadmap, offering concrete policy recommendations for decision-makers.
Aligned with Türkiye’s 2053 Net Zero Emissions target, offshore wind energy is not merely an alternative source of electricity generation; it also constitutes a critical instrument for industrial policy, regional development, and technology transfer. By presenting a comprehensive assessment of how this potential can be realized in a rational, planned, and sustainable manner, this report aims to make a strategic contribution to Türkiye’s energy transition.
