Wind Power Investment

TEİAŞ's 1,500 MW transmission-level unlicensed capacity allocation for 2026 covers both wind and solar power plants together; Hatay's mountainous and coastal areas carry a separate wind-power potential worth evaluating.

TEİAŞ's total 1,500 MW allocation for unlicensed generation facilities connecting at transmission level in 2026 covers both wind and solar power plants together; EPDK's 2,000 MW distribution-level allocation likewise evaluates the two sources jointly. Hatay's wind potential across the Amanos Mountains and coastal strip offers a source-diversification option alongside solar.

What Project Types Are Worth Considering?

  • Unlicensed wind power plant (self-consumption or grid sale)
  • Dedicated wind investment serving a single industrial facility's energy needs
  • Wind + solar hybrid energy project
  • Wind farm development on leased or partnered land

Which Areas Should You Consider?

High-elevation land at the foothills of the Amanos Mountains and the coastal strip are areas to be evaluated against wind measurement data. Obtaining site-specific wind measurement data before investing is necessary for correct site selection.

Connection and Permit Process

  • Connection application to TEDAŞ (distribution level) or TEİAŞ (transmission level)
  • EPDK unlicensed generation application and confirmation of capacity allocation
  • Wind measurement data and feasibility report
  • Zoning status, EIA process and land-use permit

Incentives and Support

Wind energy equipment can access VAT advantages similar to solar equipment; Region 6 incentives and the YEKDEM purchase guarantee apply to wind projects as well.

What to Keep in Mind

Site selection for wind projects should be based on at least a year of wind measurement data; investment decisions made without this data carry meaningful risk.

From the official data

Energy: The Only Item in the Public Investment Programme

The 2026 Investment Programme contains a single energy project: TEİAŞ's 154 kV Reyhanlı–Hassa transmission line (65 km, TRY 950 million, 2025–2028), with a 2026 allocation of TRY 500 million.

Energy's share of the programme0.3%2026[1]

What does this data mean for an investor?

Energy's share of the public programme is well below 1%, which suggests that solar, wind or storage investments are expected to move mainly through private investment and licensing processes rather than the public budget (interpretation). Because the line reinforces grid capacity at 154 kV, it may affect grid-connection options for facilities around Hassa and Reyhanlı; how much capacity opens at which point cannot be read from this source.

Limitation: This is public investment only. Installed capacity, electricity generation, solar potential and grid-connection capacity data (TEİAŞ, EPDK, the relevant distribution company) are not in this compilation and should be consulted separately before any energy investment.

Figures come from official sources; interpretations are Invest Hatay's own and are not investment advice.

Frequently asked questions about wind power investment

The region's sunshine hours give solar a strong advantage; wind can be a complementary source in certain high-elevation areas. We assess this together using site-specific measurement data.
