Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said on Tuesday he had discussed a plan by China's Dongfang Electric Corporation to build a wind turbine facility in Turkey for some $250 million, with an annual capacity of 2 gigawatts.

Bayraktar said on X he held a "comprehensive meeting" with senior executives from Dongfang Electric in Ankara, adding Turkey aimed to reach an installed capacity of 120 gigawatts in wind and solar energy by 2035.

"While achieving this capacity, we also want to increase our country's turbine and panel production potential," he said, and added the plan would help solidify this goal.

"We evaluated the Chinese company's plan to establish a wind turbine production facility with an annual capacity of 2,000 megawatts in our country with an initial investment of approximately $250 million," Bayraktar said.
