Romania, a country where approximately 16,000 Turkish companies are registered, offers opportunities for bilateral cooperation, especially in the energy sector for Turkish investors, said Ahmet Taha Yıldız, Chairperson of the DEİK Energy Business Council & General Manager of Kibar Energy, at the “Regional Approach Istanbul: Co-operation for profitable energy” conference organized by Energynomics and Enexus Renewable Energy.

He added that for Turkish investors, Dobrogea provides excellent conditions for onshore wind energy, southern Oltenia and Muntenia are ideal for solar parks, the Carpathians are suitable for hydro energy projects, and the Black Sea holds significant potential for offshore wind energy.

“Although there are some legislative obstacles, Turkish investors are in dialogue with Romanian authorities to overcome them,” Yıldız said.

On the other hand, Turkey, one of the top five energy-consuming countries in Europe, has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, and currently, more than half of its energy production comes from renewable sources.

Additionally, Turkey’s ambition to become an energy hub for Europe brings even more opportunities, providing access to natural gas from Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and other countries in the region.
