Rüzgar ve Güneş

Turkey experienced record growth in wind and solar energy capacity in 2025, with combined new installations reaching 6.5 GW and total installed capacity for both sources hitting approximately 40 GW. Solar electricity generation doubled between 2023 and 2025, rising from 18.4 TWh to 37.3 TWh. While Turkey leads in its immediate region, its overall renewable energy share of electricity production (43% in 2025) remains below the European Union average of 48%.

• Turkey achieved record new capacity installations for wind and solar energy in 2025, totaling 6.5 GW, which brought the combined installed capacity of these two sources to approximately 40 GW by the end of the year.
• Solar energy has seen rapid growth, with new installations reaching a record 4.8 GW in 2023 and maintaining levels around 4.5 GW for the following two years. Consequently, solar electricity generation doubled from 18.4 TWh in 2023 to 37.3 TWh in 2025.
• Wind energy capacity also hit a record in 2025 with 1.9 GW of new capacity, surpassing the previous record of 1.8 GW set in 2021.
• The share of solar energy in Turkey's electricity production rose from 4.7% in 2022 to 10.5% by 2025, while wind energy's share reached 11.1% in 2025.
• In 2025, renewables provided approximately 43% of Turkey's electricity production (including 16% from hydropower and 5% from geothermal and biomass). This is above the global average but below the European Union average of 48%.
• Turkey ranks 16th among 24 European countries with electricity production over 25 TWh in terms of renewable energy share, a position it has held since 2023. In terms of wind energy share, Turkey ranks 15th in Europe, though it remains ahead of Norway, Italy, and France.
