At the COP31 Antalya Summit, the energy regulatory authorities of China and Turkey finalized this significant cooperation intention. This memorandum goes beyond the simple construction of power stations, and includes transmission facilities, energy storage layout and technology transfer into the scope of cooperation, which is consistent with Türkiye's long-term energy transformation plan. The intended funds will be invested in wind power plants and supporting infrastructure, relying on the advantages of China's new energy industry, to help Türkiye consolidate its local industrial chain and move steadily towards the 2040 energy goal.

Collaborative construction of wind solar energy storage

Both parties plan to implement a total scale of 7000 MW photovoltaic wind power project, and simultaneously build a 4000 MW transmission line and supporting energy storage system. The cooperation not only includes new installed capacity, but also includes technology transfer to promote the local production of wind turbines in Türkiye and drive the growth of local industrial supporting facilities.

Anchoring Long Term Vision

This cooperation is connected with Türkiye's national energy 2040 vision. Türkiye aims to achieve 77% of the installed capacity of renewable energy by 2040, and increase the total installed capacity of photovoltaic wind power from the current 45GW to 175GW, nearly quadrupling the scale.

Intention yet to be realized

The relevant person in charge has not yet announced the list of Chinese companies participating in the investment. This document belongs to the framework memorandum of understanding, and the 15 billion US dollars is only the intended investment amount. The subsequent project site selection, enterprise docking, and fund landing still need to be continuously promoted.Editor/Li Xiaohua
