President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that preparations for the second and third nuclear power plants of Turkey would begin after the Akkuyu Power Plant in the country’s south is completed, Turkish media reports.
The government carries out its work by taking into account the increasing energy need, he said, adding that they plan to commission the first unit of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in 2023.
Turkey looks for ways to benefit more from its renewable energy resources, Erdoğan emphasized.
Turkey has drilled 14 deep-sea wells, and last year made the biggest natural gas discovery of its history in the Black Sea, he said.
