With growing public awareness of the negative effects fossil flues have on the environment has forced many countries to further explore their potential sustainable energy resources.

With rewarding government subsidies and the recent EU incentives to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% by the year 2020, the growing awareness and support from consumers in the fight against climate change have turned the renewable energy industry into one of the most emerging and dynamic sectors in global business.

In recent years, Wind energy has evolved into the most attractive of the renewable energy sector. Currently it is said to be the fastest growing industry in developing new renewable energy technology sources. Recent Wind power projects have helped the push for renewable energy in Europe helping to place the region at the forefront of the race to capitalize on the green power revolution.

According to recent studies, the wind turbine market will surge by two thirds between 2006 and 2015 to an annual total income of $15 billion. Interest and research have made this market into one with ‘much investment potential’, with companies pushing investment targets stretching way into 2020.

Turkey in particular has attracted heavy investment, with energy consumption and demand set to rise by 7% annually. In the coming years the Turkish government are increasingly promoting wind power to bolster the security of the country’s power supply. This potential room for investment and development appears to be huge and growing, as new Wind energy projects, and ideal conditions to harness wind energy are helping Turkey pioneer this sustainable form of energy.

The Rest of the SEE emerging Region is also growing rapidly and is seen as being a blank canvas for the future the emerging markets that are set to follow in Turkey’s example of developing wind projects as the primary new energy source.
