Since 1980, Turkey has considered using biomass for energy and heating, and in the 2010s included a biomass component in its target of achieving 20% renewable energy by 2023. [1] The economic biomass potential of Turkey is 32 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe)/year. [2] Total biomass production is estimated to reach 52.5 Mtoe by 2030. [3] An ...
Renewable energy reduces health costs in Turkey. Geothermal power in Turkey is used mainly for heating, and solar water heating is also widespread. However, burning wood for home heating (classified as "traditional biomass" within academic reports) has been causing indoor air pollution throughout history, [100] and still poses such problems.

In 2021, hydropower was the cheapest source of electricity in Turkey, [5] but the IEA expects only a small increase in hydropower by 2026, partly due to the competitive prices of wind and solar. [16]: 62, 63 Some academics, such as those at the Shura Energy Transition Center, say that there is limited potential for more hydropower. [17]
All of Turkey's geothermal plants are in the west of the country. Geothermal energy is a significant part of renewable energy in Turkey: it is used for geothermal heating and generates 3% of the nation's electricity. [1] Turkey is the world's second largest user of geothermal heating, after China.
Turkey’s sunny climate possesses a high solar energy potential, specifically in the South Eastern Anatolia and Mediterranean regions. [3] Solar power is a growing part of renewable energy in the country, with 19 gigawatts (GW) of solar panels [4]: section 4.2.1 generating 6% of the country's electricity. [5]: 13 Solar thermal is also important.
The wind farm is in Çanta in the Silivri district of Istanbul Province, northwestern Turkey. The wind farm was initially projected by Bora Wind Energy Company in 2011. After Boydak Energy Company took over Bora Co., construction began in 2012. The farm went into production in May 2014 with six turbines, each with a capacity to generate 2.5 MW ...
Primary energy supply in Turkey (2014–2020) [27] Turkey meets a quarter of its energy demand from national resources. [28] The Centre for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies (EDAM), a think tank, says that in the 2010s, fossil fuel imports were probably the largest structural vulnerability of the country's economy: [29] they cost $41 billion in 2019 representing about a fifth of Turkey's ...
Between 2019 and 2024, Turkey plans to invest US$11 billion into energy efficiency; [19] and by 2035 replace 80% of electricity meters with smart meters. [20] Electricity's share of energy consumption is expected to increase, from 22% in 2019 to perhaps 28% in 2040, partly due to electrification of road transport. [21]
