What happened
The EIF Energy Congress and Fair is scheduled to take place at the ANFAŞ Fair Centre in Antalya, Türkiye, from 5 to 7 November 2026. Its agenda will focus on energy-sector investment and technology, with energy storage systems and agricultural solar installations among the main subjects.
According to Enerji Günlüğü, the organisers expect around 200 companies to participate across 30,000 square metres of exhibition space and are aiming for more than 30,000 visitors. The intended audience includes investors, energy companies, technology producers and decision-makers from Türkiye and abroad.
Businesses assessing storage, solar or carbon-market opportunities can use the event agenda as a practical point of reference for the issues expected to shape sector discussions in Türkiye.
Why it matters
Rising power demand, security of supply, grid flexibility and emerging technologies are changing the direction of energy investment, according to the report. EIF’s emphasis on storage and agricultural solar places those themes alongside a wider debate on how new energy assets and technologies may be deployed.
Carbon-market issues will also form a substantial part of the programme. The EIF Carbon Markets Congress is set to address the development of carbon markets, preparations for a Turkish emissions trading system, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, carbon credits, climate finance and the green transition.
These topics matter for companies considering investment decisions, competitive positioning and international trade. The congress is intended to bring together public institutions, private-sector participants, investors and financial actors around information-sharing and collaboration on those issues.
Capacity and investment context
Türkiye has set a 2035 goal of 120,000 MW of installed solar and wind capacity. The reported investment requirement for this transition is $80 billion.
That national capacity objective provides the backdrop for discussions at EIF 2026 on technologies, financing and market arrangements. The event will run for three days, opening on 5 November and concluding on 7 November 2026.
What to watch
Readers following the Turkish market should watch for how the event frames storage deployment, agricultural solar applications and emissions-trading preparation. The announced participation and visitor figures are organiser targets, rather than confirmed attendance totals.
