The draft, published on 22 June for consultation until 17 August 2026, proposes a reverse auction with a price corridor of USD 0.07–0.11/kWh and an additional contribution fee mechanism if bidding reaches the floor. The winning developer would handle all metocean surveys, seabed investigations, studies, permitting, construction and operation, and may withdraw if wind resource assessments show a capacity factor below 40% or if seabed investigations reveal significant technical challenges. The project forms part of a 5 GW by 2035 target, with four areas identified earlier: Saros Bay, Gökçeada, Bozcaada, and Edremit.
