Turkey and China Discuss $250M Wind Turbine Facility
Turkey wants to build more wind and solar farms to create clean energy.
They are talking to a Chinese company, Dongfang Electric, about building a factory in Turkey.
This factory would make wind turbines, which are used to generate electricity from the wind.
The plan involves a $250 million investment and could produce enough turbines to generate 2 gigawatts of power each year.
Turkey aims to have a lot more solar and wind power by the year 2035, about 120 gigawatts worth.
This plan would help Turkey make its own wind turbines instead of buying them from other countries.
Turkish Energy Minister met with Dongfang Electric executives.
The meeting discussed a wind turbine facility in Turkey.
Dongfang plans a $250 million investment.
The facility's annual capacity is 2 gigawatts.
Turkey aims for 120 gigawatts of wind/solar by 2035.
