Turkish Energy Minister Fatih Donmez reaffirmed his cooperation with the pseudo-state in a meeting with the so-called Minister of Energy and Economy of the Occupied Territories, Sunat Atun.
"We hope that with the works that will be done, liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be transported to the island from the beginning," he said, adding that there is a general tendency in the world to use less fossil fuels for energy. Therefore, the conversion of existing power plants, which run on oil fuel, into natural gas was discussed.
"The island will have this clean source of energy, which is needed by industrial and tourist facilities, and especially electricity generation units."
"New production facilities will be created"
Fatih Donmez said that they closely monitored and appreciated the domestic project of the electric car developed by T / C, noting that such transformations can be implemented much faster on the island.
"This of course means that the needs for electricity will increase on the island. Again, the solar potential of the island is quite high. Currently, there is a potential of 90 megawatts. We can make efforts to increase it even more. We will continue to be by the side of our compatriots in the TRNC today and tomorrow. As we did yesterday. As the Ministry of Energy we will continue to ensure the energy supply of the island. We will continue to support projects related to his needs. "
