Local investments and opportunities
We believe that it is important for the TurkStream Project to contribute to the economic and social development of the local communities in our project area. Our Community Investment Program has been aiming to respond to the needs and aspirations of our local communities, a priority that we ensured through community participation in identifying, prioritizing and delivering projects.
On a wider level, the development of the necessary infrastructure in Türkiye and beyond supports further modernization of the Turkish industry.
Additionally, with an annual capacity of 31.5 bcm, TurkStream further boosts Türkiye’s geostrategic importance.
