What is the optimized energy transition pathway for Turkey?
2050: 220.18 GW total. Solar 63.48 GW (35.1%), Wind 58.52 GW (32.4%), Hydro 57.09 GW (31.6%). Coal phased out by 2035. $226.79B investment.
Key Takeaway
The optimized pathway: 220 GW total, 97.34% renewable, coal out by 2035, $226.79B.
Detailed Explanation
The optimized pathway lays out a detailed year-on-year capacity expansion: **Target Capacity in 2050 (220.18 GW altogether)**: Solar 63.48 GW [35.1% share], Wind 58.52 GW [32.4%], Hydro 57.09 GW [31.6%], Storage 22.30 GW [12.3%], Nuclear 4.80 GW [2.7%], Natural Gas 2.10 GW [1.2%], Coal 0 GW [fully phased out by 2035]. Phase 1 (2025–2030) Foundation Building: Install +16.3 GW solar (12.3→28.7 GW), +12.7 GW wind (12.1→24.5 GW), retire -11.1 GW coal (19.4→8.3 GW), commission 4.8 GW nuclear (Akkuyu), deploy +4.8 GWh storage. Capital injection: 123.17 billion. From the year 2040 to 2050, we will install an additional 5.4 GW of solar power. Thus the total will increase from 58.9 GW to 63.48 GW. Also, the wind installation will get a further capacity of 7.92 GW to boost the total from 50.6 GW to 58.52 GW. Similarly, further storage of 8.2 GWh will expand the storage capacity from 14.1 GWh to 22.3 GWh. In addition, optimization of the hydro power plant and enhancement of pump storage with a capacity of 12.3 GW is also planned. Funding Amount: 226.79 billion is planned between 2024 to 2050 for the project, averaging $8.77B/year, representing 0.35% of projected cumulative GDP.
