One of the most important steps of which is to make, the cost of buying was 10.3 dollars/cents per kilowatt-hour, with a historic record, is now at a world record price, reduced to 3.48 dollar/cents per kilowatt-hour, and I am proud of it.”

Referring to this tenderer being Turkiye's energy base and being a very important step not only in terms of its energy costs but also in terms of its technologies, Albayrak said:

"Just as it is on the solar, today it is a very important point in the wind trade. With 65 percent of the indigenousness and 10 percent of the minimum R&D investment, now with a breakdown of 8,000 odd industrial parts in a wind turbine, which 65% will be produced in Turkiye, Turkiye has stepped forward as a big technology production base, as much as the industry and its subsidiary industry. In this regard, it is also invested in a total of more than one billion dollars with the investment of the wind turbine which will be made in our 12 cities.
