Türkiye’s total installed electricity generation capacity reached 127,355 megawatts (MW) as of October 2026, with renewable energy sources accounting for approximately 62% to 62.7% of the country’s total capacity, according to official data from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.

The figures highlight the growing role of renewable energy in Türkiye’s electricity sector, as the country continues to expand its wind and solar power infrastructure alongside other domestic energy resources.

Combined wind and solar power capacity has surpassed 43 gigawatts (GW), representing more than one-third of Türkiye’s total installed electricity capacity. The expansion reflects the increasing contribution of these energy sources to the country’s electricity generation infrastructure.

Domestic energy resources account for approximately 71.9% of Türkiye’s total installed capacity, according to the figures, while fossil fuel-based sources make up the remaining 38%.

Türkiye’s energy mix includes renewable sources such as hydropower, wind, solar and geothermal energy, as well as conventional sources including natural gas and coal.

The expansion of renewable energy capacity is an important component of Türkiye’s efforts to diversify its energy mix, strengthen domestic energy production and reduce its dependence on imported energy resources.

Official figures on installed capacity reflect the maximum electricity generation potential of power plants rather than the actual amount of electricity generated. The contribution of each energy source to electricity production can vary depending on weather conditions, seasonal demand and plant availability. (ILKHA)
