Insights From Turkish Nuclear Officials
Entering the Turkish Nuclear Market
Türkiye is embarking on a nuclear power programme and is planning to install three NPPs (Akkuyu NPP, Sinop NPP, Ignaeda NPP, which will include 12 nuclear power reactor units. The first unit of Akkuyu NPP will be in operation by the end of 2023 and the rest of units operational by 2026. The Sinop and Ignaeda NPP is targeted to be operational by 2035.
In November 2022, Deputy Energy and Natural Resources Minister Dr. Alparslan Bayraktar highlighted that the country needed at least 16 to 20 reactors, according to initial estimates, or 12 to 16 reactors in addition to the Akkuyu NPP to be a carbon-neutral economy by the turn of the century.
The Turkish nuclear market is a promising market for international stakeholders looking for new business opportunities. With strong relationships with key Turkish entities and firm understanding of the market, NBP is best positioned to assist international stakeholders to assess and access the Turkish nuclear market.
