In 2023, Turkey accumulative total solar energy generating capacity will reach 14 gigawatts (gw)1

According to the Turkish energy resources statistics, in the first quarter of Turkey's new 445 mw, 255 mw coal power plants, new power installed capacity of 57. 3%, water and electricity, 100 mw, accounting for 22. 5%, wind power, 70 mw, geothermal, biological, and waste generation 20 mw.

by the end of march, soil power installed capacity of 89000 megawatts, including hydropower accounts for 32%, gas power generation of 25. 8% 3%, 22% of coal-fired power generation, wind power, solar power 6%, other energy generation 6. 7%.

in 2018, Turkey's total generating capacity of 2937. 1 800 million KWH, compared with 2017 growth. 11%; Electricity consumption by 2921. 700 million KWH, year-on-year growth of 0. 75%. The Turkish electricity 24 imports from neighbouring countries. 4. 6 billion KWH, year-on-year decline in 9. 64%; Power export 30. 700 million KWH, year-on-year decline in 6. 96%.

Turkey relies on natural gas to generate electricity. In 2017, for example, Turkey's total installed capacity of 85200 megawatts of power accounted for 37%, including natural gas of coal-fired power accounted 33%, hydropower, wind and solar power accounted for 30%.

however, the authorities predicted that Turkey's total solar photovoltaic generating capacity will reach about 14 gigawatts in 2023. Another from Turkey shura energy transformation center report predicts that solar energy generating capacity will reach 30 gw.
