Speaking in Ankara when presenting a report entitled “Are the Lights Turning Off?”, Zachau said if USD 3 trillion in investments in the energy sector in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are not made within the next 20 years, then the region will be faced with a severe energy bottleneck.

Showing his support for the nation’s energy strategy, Zachau stated that Turkey is also flourishing in the renewable energy industry and has been successful in developing renewable energy sources for its economy.
