Renewable energy as an alternative in 2007 the imap Institute had focused on the area of environmental technology and renewable energy and presented the new trade fair in this context. The issue of alternative energy was the focus here. Given the high dependence on energy imports and threatened shortages of electricity supply, just renewable energy in Turkey are increasingly gaining importance. The Turkish Government is committed to the target, up to the year 2014 investments amounting to 35 billion euros in the environment sector, primarily for the use of renewable energies -. More information is housed here: Harper Simon. The potential is large: alone in the coastal regions, a production capacity could be achieved with wind power of 80,000 MW. Accordingly, already 750 applications for the construction of wind turbines were available in November 2007 at the Turkish Council for the organisation of the energy market. Parallel to the fair, even the Conference is held on alternative, renewable energy resources and water problems.
