The Turkish market has strategic importance for MET Group. The East Balkan gas market together with Turkey is the last gas region which has not completed its journey to become an integrated regional gas hub. On the other hand, the Turkish power and renewable sectors continue to develop day by day and prepare the ground for new trade options with Europe. Therefore our management puts solid effort to develop our Turkish operations. Although MET did not have any historic presence or brand awareness in Turkey, we managed to build a gas portfolio in a few years and become the 5th largest gas retail seller in 2020.
MET has a unique position as one of the very few companies having gas and power positions and customers in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey. Therefore, MET is in a very strong position to provide tailor made business solutions to the local market and bring gas to European markets from new energy sources as soon as the Balkan and Turkish markets become fully integrated with each other.
We are convinced that MET Turkey’s activity will also contribute to the increase of supply security and enhance the service competitiveness in the country.
