Türkiye’s 2026 YEKA tenders attract 19 solar applicants and 12 wind applicants

What happened

Türkiye’s Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources has received applications for the 2026 YEKA processes covering solar and wind generation projects. Enerji Günlüğü reported that 19 companies applied in the solar round, while 12 applied in the wind round. The tenders relate to the allocation of grid-connection capacity for solar and wind power plants.

For market participants, the immediate next step is to follow further announcements from the tender process. The reported applicant data does not specify how much capacity is available, when later stages will take place, or which companies will ultimately secure capacity.

The solar applicant group includes five Temmuz Güneş entities: Temmuz Güneş Kahramanmaraş, Denizli, Ankara, Konya and Diyarbakır. Other applicants named by Enerji Günlüğü are KÇS Kahramanmaraş Çimento, İş Enerji Yatırımları, Oris Solar, Saltuk Enerji, Gel Mensucat, RHG Enertürk, İrem İnşaat, Ersen Grup, Ceylan İşletme, Ecogreen, Egesa, Fe Girişim, Torkam Enerji and İklim İnvest.

The wind applicant list comprises EMBA Elektrik Üretim, İş Enerji Yatırımları, Eksim Enerji, RHG Enertürk, Binres Elektrik Üretim, Limak Yenilenebilir Enerji, Ecogreen, Al-Yel Elektrik, Poyraz Yenilenebilir Enerji, Metgün Enerji Yatırımları, Egesa and Fe Girişim.

Why it matters

Connection capacity is central to the development of new renewable-energy plants, making the identities of tender applicants relevant to companies active in Türkiye’s solar and wind markets. The two lists show a larger number of applicants in the solar process than in the wind process: 19 compared with 12.

Five companies feature in both rounds: İş Enerji Yatırımları, RHG Enertürk, Ecogreen, Egesa and Fe Girişim. Their presence across both technologies is a factual indication that they submitted applications to each of the reported 2026 YEKA processes.

The applicant lists establish participation, rather than project awards or development commitments. Until the ministry releases additional information, the available reporting does not support conclusions on winning bidders, project locations, capacity allocation or commissioning plans.
