The Turkish energy market is increasingly becoming the focus of German investors. Turkey offers enormous untapped potential for the expansion of renewable energies.
With an installed capacity of around 115 GW, Turkey has made considerable progress in the field of renewable energies. Solar and wind energy in particular have experienced remarkable growth in recent years and will contribute almost 5 GW of additional capacity in 2024 alone. Renewable energy sources now account for around 46 percent of the country’s annual electricity generation, underscoring Türkiye’s commitment to diversifying its energy mix and promoting sustainability.
Despite significant progress, Turkey’s renewable energy sector has considerable untapped potential, particularly in onshore and offshore wind and solar energy. The official target includes the installation of 5 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2035, creating significant development opportunities. In addition, the country aims to quadruple its combined wind and solar energy capacity to 120,000 MW by 2035, underlining the great potential for further investment and growth in these sectors.
