Wind power

Wind power should be declared a strategic sector in Türkiye, with a target of reaching 100,000 megawatts of installed renewable energy capacity for 2053, says the head of the Wind Energy Association.

European countries continue to draw blue fuel from underground natural gas (GNG) storages at minimal rates, and wind power generation in the region exceeds 30% of the total, reaching one of the highest levels since 2022, data from Gas Infrastructure Europe shows and the European Wind Energy Association.

Natural gas in Europe continues to fall in price at the start of the new year, falling below €70 per megawatt-hour (MWh) for the first time since the beginning of the military invasion of Ukraine, which Russia launched on February 24, 2022.

Swedish company SeaTwirl says its floating vertical-axis wind turbines have what it takes to dramatically reduce the cost of deep offshore wind energy

Bulgaria does not currently have a project for wind energy from offshore installations, nor has it announced any prospect.

This is how a senior representative of the European Commission answered a question of Bulgarian media Club Z.

Natural gas and electricity prices have been hiked, authorities have announced, citing rising costs globally.

Electricity prices for households were increased by 20 percent, effective Sept. 1, the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) said in a statement.

Under the new tariff, households will pay 173.5 Turkish Liras/100 kilowatts per hour.

Wind and solar power generation has lowered Turkey's import bills by preventing $7 billion of fossil fuel imports in the last 12 months, London-based Ember said in a report.

In the following months, approximately $700 million in savings is expected each month if the gas price remains the same, the think-tank predicted.

Wind power became the main source of electricity production in Spain last year, accounting for 23 percent, ahead of nuclear (21 percent) and gas (17 percent), according to national grid operator REE.

İzmir Development Agency (İZKA) has called for international wind energy collaboration with the Aegean port city of İzmir, dubbed "the wind capital of Turkey."

Energy companies bid a record $4.37 billion on Feb. 25 for leases to develop wind power off the U.S. east coast, authorities said, after sales key to America's renewable electricity ambitions.

The six sites are in an area called the New York Bight and total 488,000 acres (197,500 hectares), making it the biggest U.S. renewable power auction ever.
