Turkey''s sunny climate possesses a high solar energy potential, specifically in the South Eastern Anatolia and Mediterranean regions. Solar power is a growing part of renewable energy in the country, with 19 gigawatts (GW) of solar panels generating 6% of the country''s electricity. Solar thermal is also important. Although similarly sunny, by 2021 Turkey had installed far less solar power than Spain

Türkiye''s energy journey toward an empowering future

Technological advances have made renewable energy, especially wind and solar, the cheapest energy sources, According to recent studies, achieving the necessary transition in Türkiye''s power sector will require an average annual investment of $15 billion until 2053. Most of this funding is allocated to constructing new power plants, with

Energy transition. Bayraktar announced plans for $100 billion in renewable energy investments by 2035, calling on experienced and new German investors to partner in Türkiye''s energy transition. He highlighted the country''s road map to expand wind and solar energy capacity from the current 31,000 megawatts (MW) to 120,000 megawatts by 2035.

Türkiye aims to quadruple wind, solar energy capacity by 2035

Bayraktar also explained that Türkiye''s energy policies are driven by three key goals: the security of supply, reducing foreign energy dependence and achieving net zero emissions by 2053. The minister said that the share of renewable energy in Türkiye''s total installed electricity capacity reached 59% as of September.

The fuel-only cost of fossil gas-fired power in early 2022 was 128 USD/MWh, which was more than double that of the levelized cost of electricity of new utility scale solar PV and new onshore wind. Renewable energy is competitive with domestic coal. However in 2022 wind and solar remained more expensive than energy efficiency measures, which were estimated at 14 USD/MWh.
