The report examines the growth of hybrid energy systems in Türkiye, noting that while solar power is the most preferred hybrid source, its installed capacity remains low relative to standalone solar growth. It details the regulatory evolution from 2020 to 2023 and provides data on how hybrid solar plants complement wind and run-of-river hydroelectric plants to increase grid efficiency and production continuity.

  • Despite the growth of standalone solar energy capacity by 16.1 GW since 2019, hybrid solar power plants reached an installed capacity of only 1.4 GW by May 2025.
  • Hybrid power plants were first introduced into Turkish legislation in March 2020, but growth was slow, with only 100 MW of installed capacity in the first two years. Regulatory changes in 2022 and 2023 expanded capacity limits, including the removal of a 15% capacity restriction for non-wind plants in September 2022.
  • As of May 2025, nearly all of the 3.5 GW of production licenses issued for hybrid plants were allocated to solar projects, though only 41% (1.4 GW) of this licensed capacity has been commissioned.
  • Run-of-river hydroelectric and solar plants exhibit a complementary production profile, with a negative correlation of -0.13 based on 2024 hourly data, which strengthens to -0.19 during the low-production months of May and August.
  • In 2024, an analysis of 25 wind and hydroelectric plants with hybrid solar components showed that solar production increased the total electricity transferred to the grid by 14%, raising the average connection capacity factor by 5 points to 32%.
