Wind power in Turkey

(

)

A wind turbine on Bozcaada island in the country's west, where most wind power is concentrated

... that wind power in Turkey (wind turbine pictured) is so profitable that companies pay the government for licences? Source: https://www.power-technology.com/news/res-wind-project-turkey/ “Işıklar is one of the first merchant projects with a negative bid to achieve its licence"

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looking good, as expected from a GA there are no quality issues. For the hook, I was trying to verify it in the article body and spent quite some time searching for it, because the article language is much more "technical". Maybe add a short explanatory sentence for what "negative bids" means, e.g. like so: Merchant projects have won licenses with negative bids (meaning the companies pay the government for licenses) and are expected to come online in the mid-2020s. Could also be a short sentence after, just so people can easily see the hook is correct. Also, we recently had a discussion that there were too few "creative" images in DYK. There's ofc no guarantee that a nomination will get the picture spot; but it never hurts to provide a picture with a nom. Would you be interested in adding one? I am thinking File:Günbatımında Polente Feneri̇ ve Rüzgargülü 2008 - panoramio.jpg or File:ÇantaWindFarm06.JPG maybe? Your choice and no guarantee, but again it doesn't hurt :) –LordPickleII (talk) 16:59, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Good idea - done thanks Chidgk1 (talk) 12:53, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Approve article and picture (I've only amended the hook to include a "pictured"). –LordPickleII (talk) 13:29, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
