Solar PV and wind power driving Türkiye''s
Türkiye aims to quadruple its wind and solar capacity, targeting a goal of 120GW by 2035. To achieve this, it will install between 7.5 and
The facilitation of self-consumption-focused power plant installations in Türkiye has accelerated annual new installations, pushing solar energy capacity beyond the current 2025 target. Türkiye's solar energy capacity doubled from 9.7 GW in July 2022 to exceed 19 GW by the end of 2024.
Türkiye's unlicensed solar energy installed capacity increased to 17,331 MWe in mid-2024, while licensed solar energy installed capacity reached 1826 MWe. The total solar energy installed capacity to 19,157 MWe. Wind energy installed capacity increased to 13.000 MWe. Geothermal installed capacity increased to 1691 MWe.
Over the past two and a half years, solar and wind energy combined have prevented $15 billion in natural gas imports, reinforcing Türkiye's energy independence and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. Solar energy alone generated 52 TWh of electricity during this period, which accounted for 6% of the country's total electricity supply.
Although there is no offshore WPP in Türkiye yet, if a production facility based on Offshore Wind energy is established, the purchase price has been determined as 215.37 TL kr/kWh, domestic production contribution as 57.50 kr/kWh, and updates have been made in the following months due to increasing high inflation.
