Turkey and Germany are aiming for closer cooperation in renewables, energy storage and efficiency, and have set up four bilateral working groups to achieve this aim. The Turkish-German Energy Forum provides a platform for dialogue and cooperation in the field of renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy infrastructure and regulations. Sector coupling is also a target area for cooperation in which the use of renewables-generated electricity is destined for sectors other than the power sector, for example, in the buildings, industry and transport sectors.

 

To further explore opportunities for bilateral energy expansion, Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Fatih Dönmez and German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier met in Ankara for the second Turkish-German Energy Forum in October last year to sign a letter of intent to enhance the Turkish-German energy partnership.

 

Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA) during the 5th Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue, Germany's Deputy Economy and Energy Minister Thomas Bareiss, who has been appointed as a special envoy for Turkish-German energy partnership, said that when he met with Turkey's Deputy Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar, both acknowledged the strong energy partnership between Turkey and Germany.
