The 12th Turkish Wind Energy Congress, held on November 7-8 in Istanbul by the Turkish Wind Energy Association (TÜREB), brought together the major stakeholders in wind energy from both domestic and international perspectives. With the theme "The Century of Wind" in the centennial year of our Republic, the future of wind energy was discussed at the congress, which attracted approximately 4,000 participants. Adnan Polat, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Polat Holding, who received the success award presented by the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, stated: "We have been working in the field of renewable energy in Turkey for almost a quarter of a century. Our primary motivation for entering this business was the pollution of air, land, and water by fossil fuels. As Polat Energy, we wanted to do our part to leave a clean world for future generations. Our second motivation is the struggle against external dependency. We are working for a Turkey that is self-sufficient in energy. Thank you very much for this meaningful award."
