The Turkish Promotion and Publicity Agency has announced that Perfect Wind, a leading French energy company, is expected to invest 210 million euros in Kırşehir, Turkey, for the establishment of a modern power plant there.

According to a statement released Tuesday by Perfect Wind, which operates in the field of renewable energy, the company is also planning 1.5 billion euros of renewable energy investment in Turkey over the next five years. Expressing his gratitude, Gazi Kalkan, Perfect Wind Turkey representative, thanked the Turkish Promotion and Publicity Agency for their help in overcoming the obstacles during the process of applying to carry out the project. Kalkan underlined that the company’s investment was a sign of confidence in the Turkish economy. Noting that Turkey has a potential of 10,000 megawatts of wind energy, Turkish Promotion and Publicity Agency General Manager Alpaslan Korkmaz said Perfect Wind’s investment in Turkey was an important step in the field of wind energy. Founded in France five years ago, Perfect Wind established France’s second-largest wind farm. In 2006, Akuo Energy, a Perfect Wind subsidiary, began operating energy power plants in various fields such as solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy and bio energy in the US.
