Türkiye Elektrik Görünümü 2025

In 2024, Türkiye's combined wind and solar electricity generation reached 62 TWh, surpassing the historical peak of domestic coal production (53 TWh in 2019). While solar generation grew by 39% to reach a 7.5% share of total production, wind growth slowed, maintaining a 10.7% share. Despite a record high in total coal generation (122 TWh), making Türkiye the highest coal-producing country in Europe, the overall share of fossil fuels fell to 55%, the lowest since 1993, driven by a decrease in natural gas use. However, renewable growth has not kept pace with a 5.5% increase in electricity demand, which was driven by record temperatures in June and July. Türkiye's new 2035 targets aim to quadruple wind and solar capacity to 120 GW, which could potentially reduce the fossil fuel share of electricity production to below 20%.

• For the first time, combined electricity generation from wind and solar in 2024 (62 TWh) exceeded the historical peak of domestic coal production, which was 53 TWh in 2019.
• Solar electricity production saw a record year-on-year increase of 39% in 2024, raising its share of total electricity production from 5.7% in 2023 to 7.5%.
• Türkiye became the highest producer of electricity from coal in Europe in 2024, generating 122 TWh, surpassing Germany (104 TWh) and Poland (91 TWh).
• The share of fossil fuels in electricity production dropped to 55% in 2024, the lowest level since 1993, primarily due to a 3 TWh decrease in natural gas generation.
• Electricity demand grew by 5.5% (+18 TWh) in 2024, largely driven by record-breaking temperatures in June and July that increased cooling needs, as well as a recovery in consumption following the February 2023 earthquake.
• Türkiye's 2035 targets aim to increase wind and solar capacity from 32 GW (end of 2024) to 120 GW. If achieved, the share of wind and solar in electricity production could reach 49%, and the fossil fuel share could drop below 20%.
• Hydroelectric production increased by 17% to 75 TWh in 2024, the third-highest year on record, despite severe drought in April that particularly impacted run-of-river plants.
