Bayraktar Meets U.S. Energy Executives in New York: SMRs, LNG and Critical Minerals on the Agenda
Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar met with senior U.S. energy executives at an Energy Roundtable in New York. The discussions focused on renewable energy, small modular reactors (SMRs), LNG, critical minerals, battery storage and smart grid technologies.
Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar attended an Energy Roundtable held in New York as part of the 19th Türkiye Investment Conference. The meeting focused on Türkiye’s energy transition and potential new areas of investment and cooperation with the United States.
Hosted by Franklin Templeton in cooperation with the American Business Roundtable (ATBR) and the Atlantic Council, the meeting brought together representatives of Turkish public institutions and senior executives from U.S. energy companies. Participants discussed Türkiye’s investment potential in the energy sector and opportunities for joint projects in the coming period.
One of the main topics was Türkiye’s renewable energy transition. Participants assessed the country’s potential in renewable resources, particularly solar and wind power, as well as opportunities for greater cooperation with international investors.
Nuclear energy was another key item on the agenda, with particular attention given to the integration of small modular reactors (SMRs) into Türkiye’s energy mix. The potential role of next-generation nuclear technologies in strengthening energy security and diversifying energy sources was discussed.
LNG investment and trade were also addressed by Turkish and U.S. representatives. Opportunities to expand bilateral energy trade were evaluated in light of Türkiye’s natural gas infrastructure and LNG capacity.
The meeting also covered potential investment and cooperation in critical minerals. Participants discussed the growing importance of these resources for the energy transition, including their supply, processing and use in emerging energy technologies.
Battery storage systems and smart grid technologies were another major focus of the discussions. As Türkiye expands its renewable energy capacity, the role of energy storage and more flexible electricity grids in supporting the country’s energy transformation was highlighted.
The talks reflected efforts to broaden Türkiye-U.S. energy cooperation beyond traditional oil and natural gas trade into areas including nuclear power, renewable energy, critical minerals, energy storage and next-generation grid technologies.
