How much solar power does Turkey have?

'Today Turkey ranks 13th globally and seventh in Europe with 7,154 MW of solar capacity. Hopefully, these numbers will increase every year,' he said. The SCADA facility, the foundation of which has been laid today, marks a milestone in localizing energy technologies in Turkey, Donmez said.

How much solar power will Türkiye have in 2035?

Although Türkiye has added 11 GW of wind and solar capacity in the last five years, other European countries have proved this is possible in a single year. According to the NEP, solar energy capacity is set to reach 52 GW in 2035. To meet this target, an annual average of 3.4 GW of new solar capacity is foreseen to be added.

How much power does Türkiye have?

Türkiye's current renewable capacity accounts for over half of the country's total installed power capacity, which stood at 104,488 MW by April 7. After a hydropower capacity of around 31,600 MW, wind is the second-biggest renewable source of electricity at 11,490 MW. Solar power installations reached 9,820 MW in the same period.

How much did Türkiye pay for electricity generation in 2023?

Türkiye paid a total of $3.7 billion USD for imported coal for electricity generation in 2023. Türkiye added 2 GW of solar power capacity in 2023, increasing solar’s share of total electricity generation from 4.9% in 2022 to 5.7% in 2023.

Can Türkiye utilise its rooftop solar potential?

Türkiye can utilise its rooftop solar potential to catch up with installation rates in EU countries and get on track to meet its clean energy targets. Rooftops in Türkiye have a technical potential of 120 GW and can meet 45% of the country’s total electricity demand.

Where are Türkiye solar panels made?

The solar panels in the facility come from Türkiye’s first integrated solar ingot-wafer-module-cell production factory in Ankara, which was established by Kalyon Solar Energy Technologies Production Company and started production in August 2020.
