    One of the problems that occur with the increase of the world population is the limited energy resources. The rapid depletion of fossil resources and increasing energy consumption have led human beings to explore new sources of energy. In the 21st century, the greatest alternative to fossil resources was renewable energy sources. One of the areas where energy needs are technically and economically important is agricultural activities. Renewable energy sources have been used for many years to meet the energy requirements for agricultural activities such as grinding of grains and water extraction from wells. One of these sources is wind energy. In this study, it is aimed to determine the cost and availability of the energy needed for the removal of groundwater to the surface for use in agricultural irrigation in Bursa/Karacabey region in Turkey by using wind turbines. Study; using the data measured at the meteorological station Karacabey wind speed; 300, 600, 900, 1500 kW wind turbines and the use of power and energy that can be obtained in the case of submersible pumps with some selected values of availability, the cost and amount of water that can be pumped for the analysis are reviewed. As a result of the study, it was determined that the energy to be used to supply groundwater with submersible pumps in Karacabey region can be supplied from wind energy and this situation is quite economical compared to using mains electricity.
