By Felicity Bradstock - Aug 30, 2026, 10:00 AM CDT Turkey and Saudi Arabia are working toward 5 GW of renewable energy projects, led by a roughly $2 billion, 2-GW solar first phase. Turkey is rapidly expanding wind and solar, although coal remains its largest source of electricity generation. Ankara is simultaneously boosting Black Sea gas production and pursuing new regional energy corridors linking the Middle East with Europe. Turkey and Saudi Arabia have announced ambitious plans to cooperate on renewable energy, as both countries aim to deploy vast amounts of clean power. Saudi Arabia has already invested heavily in Turkey’s solar power sector and aims to deepen its energy partnership with Turkey.

What would break this thesis
- Cancellation or significant scaling back of the reported bilateral funding agreements.
- Worsening geopolitical tensions between the participating nations that delay project execution.
