We also plan to increase our installed capacity to over 350 MW by the end of 2024 with the commissioning of the Mersin WPP and the second phase of the Taşpınar Hybrid PV plant. In addition, we are continuing our efforts to reach our growth target of 550 MW in 2025 with the European investments we have started with our company Galata Wind Energy Global established abroad, and then to reach 1000 MW in 2030 with investments in Europe and Turkey."
