Türkiye Electricity Review 2023
The energy plan projects that solar reaches almost 53 GW by 2035, up from 9.4 GW in 2022. With this increase, solar power is expected to have the largest installed capacity among all generation sources in Türkiye. This would put solar generating 16.5% of Türkiye''s power in 2035, up from 4.7% in 2022.

Review of Turkey''s photovoltaic energy status: Legal structure
Solar and wind energies are two of the main candidates to play a major role in cutting down the amount of fossil fuel currently used. In the present study, Turkey''s solar energy potential, installed PV capacity and PV electricity generation are analyzed in comparison to 5 selected EU countries, to be referred to as EU-5. 2.
ENERGY PROFILE Türkiye€
Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country''s land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across the classes (for comparison).

6 FAQs about [Türkiye solar structure]
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.
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.
What type of energy does Türkiye generate?
Approximately 56% of Türkiye’s electric power generation capacity consist of renewable energy, including hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass power plants, making Türkiye the fifth-largest generator of renewable energy in Europe and the 11th largest in the world.
How much solar energy does Turkey generate a year?
In Turkey, upon the particular emphasis on solar energy recently, PV electricity generation was 7477 GWh in 2018. On the other hand, due to the new developments in Turkey's PV market, the PV electricity generation increased seven folds compared to 2016.
How much solar power does Turkey need?
With an installed PV capacity of 63 W per capita, however, the installed capacity is significantly lower than the EU-5 countries. In order for Turkey to reach the present EU-5 average of 274 W per capita, Turkey needs to add 17,000 MW to her existing installed PV capacity.
How many solar power plants will Türkiye install in 2023?
In 2023, Türkiye installed 2 GW of new solar power plants. However, the country needs to double its current solar power plant installation rate by two and a half times and install 5.3 GW in the next two years alone in order to reach its targets.
