Turkey has opened a 1GW onshore wind tender for projects in four different regions, while simultaneously postponing plans for a 1.2GW offshore wind auction that had been announced previously.

The onshore tender under the YEKA support scheme was announced in Turkey’s Official Gazette this week and will be held in individual auctions for projects of 250MW each in the regions of Balıkesir, Çanakkale, Aydın, and Muğla, an official at the Turkish Wind Energy Association told Recharge.
