Bölüm 4: Depolama

Turkey has established a massive battery project pipeline of 33 GW, surpassing EU nations like Germany and Italy, driven by a 2022 regulation requiring storage for new wind and solar plants. However, these projects average a storage duration of 1.1 hours, significantly lower than the 2025 global average of 2.5 hours and Turkey's own 2035 target of 7.5 GW with a two-hour duration. As of February 2026, 208 MW have been commissioned, aided by a 50% drop in installation costs since 2022.

• Turkey has developed one of Europe's largest battery project pipelines, with 33 GW of capacity approved for wind and solar plants. This exceeds the project stocks of countries like Germany and Italy, which have capacities of 12-13 GW. This pipeline resulted from a regulation introduced in late 2022 requiring new wind and solar plants to have battery capacity at least equal to the plant's installed power.
• There is a significant gap between Turkey's current project pipeline and global storage duration trends. While global battery installations in 2025 had an average storage duration of 2.5 hours (104 GW/257 GWh), Turkey's approved wind and solar projects have a total storage capacity of 37 GWh for 33 GW of power, resulting in an average duration of 1.1 hours.
• Turkey's current project pipeline contrasts with its official 2035 battery capacity target of 7.5 GW with a two-hour duration. As of February 2026, 208 MW of storage-equipped wind and solar projects have been commissioned. The document notes that battery installation costs have decreased by more than 50% since 2022, making projects financially viable at current market prices.
