Istanbul - The European wind power landscape will undergo a major reshuffle in 2025. According to the latest industry report issued by Wind Energy Europe, Türkiye has overtaken Britain, France and other traditional powers with an additional 2142 megawatts of installed capacity, and has become the second largest wind power construction country in Europe, after Germany. This data not only broke the record of Türkiye's energy transformation, but also focused the attention of global investors on this hot land of energy across Europe and Asia. Along the coast of the Bosphorus Strait, more and more wind turbine blades are accelerating, and the outline of a regional energy manufacturing center is becoming clearer.

The second place in Europe, Türkiye's wind power "acceleration"

In 2025, the total amount of new wind power installed in Europe will reach 19100 MW, of which Türkiye will contribute more than 11%. By the end of January 2026, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in Türkiye has reached 14862 MW, accounting for one third of the total installed capacity of the country together with solar energy. The CEO of Wind Energy Europe spoke highly of the fact that Türkiye not only has outstanding installations, but also has complete local supply chains such as blades and towers, making it a reliable energy partner of the EU.

45 billion euros investment creates supply chain gap

The report shows that the total investment in the wind power sector in Europe will reach 45 billion euros by 2025, which is expected to drive the implementation of 21000 megawatts of new production capacity. Despite the broad prospects, most countries except Germany still face bottlenecks in licensing approval. In this context, Türkiye's relatively mature manufacturing capacity has become a highlight, but there are still obvious gaps in high-end fan core components, intelligent control systems and energy storage supporting facilities, which opens a window for Chinese enterprises with cost and technical advantages.

Chinese enterprises shift from product output to full chain cooperation

The rise of Türkiye is attracting more and more Chinese enterprises to adjust their outbound strategies. Experts suggest shifting from simple exports to a comprehensive model of "technology+capital+services", and entering the local high-end component market through technology authorization and joint venture construction. At the same time, as a hub connecting Europe and Asia, Türkiye can become a production base for Chinese enterprises to radiate the Middle East and European markets. With the enhancement of local manufacturing capabilities, simple equipment exports will face greater resistance, and deep binding to local supply chains will become the key to breaking the deadlock.Editor/Gao Xue
