6 FAQs about [Türkiye Rural Solar Energy]

How much solar energy does Türkiye have?

Türkiye’s solar energy capacity doubled from 9.7 GW in July 2022 to exceed 19 GW by the end of 2024. By August 2024, the country had already exceeded the 18 GW target set for 2025 in the National Energy Plan (NEP) by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR).

How has solar energy benefited Türkiye?

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.

Does Türkiye have storage-integrated solar power?

In the area of storage-integrated solar power, Türkiye is making significant progress. As of 2024, 412 solar power plants with storage, representing a combined installed capacity of over 14 GW, have received pre-licenses. This figure far exceeds the 2.1 GW storage capacity target set in the NEP for 2030.

How has Türkiye doubled its solar capacity?

Türkiye has doubled its solar capacity in just 2.5 years, surpassing its current target more than a year ahead of schedule. The progress underlines the opportunity for an upgraded target in its upcoming Nationally Determined Contribution. Available in: Türkçe

Does Türkiye have a strong wind energy capacity?

In 2024, Türkiye’s wind energy capacity grew by only 6.5% (+770 MW), marking a significant slowdown compared to the peak annual additions of 1.7 GW in 2021.

Are storage-integrated power plants possible in Türkiye?

While no grid-scale storage-integrated power plants are operational in Türkiye yet, the country has a robust pipeline of approximately 33 GW of storage-integrated wind and solar projects with pre-licensing periods extending until 2030. This strong investor interest highlights the potential of storage-integrated power plants.
