President Güler said, “We signed an agreement of 150 million dollars for wave energy production in Turkish-Israeli partnership. Hopefully, we will be able to produce energy from the waves of our Black Sea. When I was the Minister of Energy, we had enacted the renewable energy laws, and now I hope we will achieve this success. Wave energy is an environmentally friendly, clean energy. Pointing out that wave energy is renewable and environmentally friendly, Güler said that Turkey is in an advantageous position in this field as it is surrounded by seas on three sides.

Emphasizing that they contribute to Turkey’s energy policy with the facilities they have commissioned in the city, Güler also stated that they will support the shaping of the legal basis for sea wave power plants.

Güler stated that they can try the project of generating electricity from wave energy in rivers as well as seas, adding, «This is a separate study. That’s why it’s not just for the sea. Theoretically, it’s possible to build a power plant wherever there is waves.»
