Politika önerileri

The document outlines policy recommendations for Turkey to reach its 2035 renewable energy goals, focusing on overcoming grid capacity constraints, accelerating permitting processes, diversifying energy sources, and enhancing regional interconnection to ensure grid flexibility.

• To reach its 2035 targets, Turkey needs to commission 8 GW of new wind and solar power plants annually, exceeding the 6.5 GW level first reached in 2025. However, grid connection capacity is a major bottleneck; for instance, there has been no vacant capacity for unlicensed power plant projects in any Turkish province since July 2025.
• Reaching a capacity of 120 GW for wind and solar would require an additional $28 billion investment in the grid alone. Potential funding sources include the World Bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), as well as bilateral agreements with countries like Saudi Arabia, which signed a deal in February 2026 for a 2 GW solar plant with a 25-year purchase guarantee.
• Permitting processes are a significant barrier, particularly for 33 GW of storage-based wind and solar projects. A "super permit" legal regulation passed in 2025 aims to reduce permitting times from four years for wind and two years for solar down to 18 months.
• Turkey has significant untapped potential in floating solar and hybrid systems. There is an economically viable hybrid solar potential of at least 8 GW at existing wind and hydroelectric plants. Additionally, using only 10% of the surface area of state-owned dam reservoirs could yield 53 GW of floating solar potential.
• The $8.7 billion purchase guarantee announced in 2025 for domestic coal plants contradicts renewable energy goals and may hinder grid management, especially during peak solar production hours. To improve flexibility, Turkey plans to increase its interconnection capacity by 2035 to 6.75 GW for exports and 6.6 GW for imports, from 2025 levels of 2.1 GW and 1.35 GW respectively.
