We present a study on the development of rotating turbulence in Bose-Einstein condensates with a dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii model. Turbulence is generated by driving the lattice of quantized vortices in a harmonic potential with a random forcing potential. As the turbulence progresses, the initial alignment of vortices undergoes slight disruptions, thereby increasing the high-wave-number components of the kinetic energy. In the turbulent state, the distribution of incompressible kinetic energy exhibits milder anisotropy than that in the initial lattice state and demonstrates a scaling behavior of $k_z^{-2.5}$ in the direction parallel to the rotation axis. In contrast, the compressible kinetic energy exhibits an isotropic scaling behavior at high wave numbers.
