By the announcement of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources dated 31 October 2025, the Correction Notice for the YEKA GES-2025 and YEKA RES-2025 Tenders was published as an addendum to the Official Gazette dated 09 September 2025, numbered 33012, and amendments were introduced to the tender announcement.

According to the corrections, the definition of "Domestic Goods Certificate" has been revised as "the document issued under the Domestic Goods Communiqué (SGM 2014/35) showing the domestic contribution rate of a component ('Aksam') specified in the Specifications."
Previously, a Domestic Goods Certificate was required for each component listed in Annex-2 of the Specifications related to wind turbine manufacturing.

Pursuant to the amendment made to Article m.6/2 of the Specifications, it has become mandatory to submit a Domestic Goods Certificate showing compliance with the relevant minimum domestic contribution rate. A new column titled "Minimum Component Domestic Contribution Rate (%)" has been added to Annex-2 "Facility Components Table" of the Specifications.
Accordingly, the minimum domestic contribution rates have been determined as 65% for the turbine tower, 70% for tower connection elements, 65% for rotor blades, and 51% for the remaining components.
The Wind Turbine Domesticity Score shall be the total of the domesticity scores of the relevant components listed in Annex-2. The total component domesticity score of the wind turbines to be installed within the YEKA area must be at least 55.
