With its rapidly growing economy, increasing population, and rising energy demand, Turkey has become one of the fastest-growing energy markets in the world in the last two decades. Due to limited domestic oil and natural gas reserves, Turkey has made significant progress in recent years in harnessing its renewable energy sources to minimize fossil fuel imports and enhance energy security. According to the Wind Energy Potential Atlas (REPA), Turkey's theoretical wind energy potential is approximately 48 GW. Taking into account the existing electrical grid infrastructure, the wind energy potential that can be connected to the grid has been estimated at around 10,000 MW. With adjustments to the electrical grid, it appears possible to increase the grid-connected wind energy potential to levels around 20,000 MW in the medium term.

The TR71 Level 2 Region has limited wind energy potential. The average wind speed at 50 meters height in Niğde is 3.06 m/s. An economic wind energy power plant investment requires a wind speed of 7 m/s or higher. The total area identified for the installation of a wind energy power plant in Niğde province is 12.42 km². The total installed capacity for wind energy power plants that can be established in the TR71 Level 2 Region has been determined as 62.08 MW for Niğde province. Existing wind data indicates that the available areas for wind power plant installations in Niğde are limited.
