Turkey's total electricity generation reached 330 TWh in 2025, with renewable sources accounting for 42% of the mix — up from 38% in 2022. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the country's energy transition status, grid capacity, and policy outlook for the coming decade.
Generation mix — Hydropower remains the largest renewable source at 32 GW installed capacity, followed by solar (28 GW) and wind (19 GW). Natural gas and coal-fired generation still account for the majority of baseload supply, though their share is declining year-on-year.
Grid infrastructure — TEIAS has invested heavily in transmission upgrades to accommodate renewable penetration. The Aegean and Marmara regions are experiencing the highest curtailment rates due to local bottlenecks. New interconnector projects with neighbouring countries are under evaluation.
Policy outlook — The National Energy Plan targets 64.6 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, a target already exceeded. Carbon pricing and ETS alignment with the EU remain under discussion. The government is expected to announce revised incentives for battery storage and green hydrogen in 2026.
