According to a new report published by the Energy Thinking Office EMER, Türkiye, just two and a half years solar energy By doubleing its capacity, it is planned to its current target. one and a half years earlier reached. According to the report, in the last two and a half years in solar energy capacity 102 percent increase saved. In the last two and a half years, natural gas imports, which are prevented from wind and electricity from the sun, have reached 15 billion dollars.

Türkiye, the sun target early reached

According to the EMER, the solar capacity of the solar energy between 2018 and 2022 has taken a period of more than four years, while the existing two have been accelerating in recent years. Since July 2022, 94 percent of growth came from central installations for self -indulgence, while the capacity at the end of 2024 from 9.7 GW value 19. Thus, the 2025 target was overcome in 2024, one and a half years ago.

The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of the Ministry of Energy Plan (UEP) within the scope of the end of the 2025 year target was 18 GW. With the update made after COP29 The solar energy target of 2035 is 77 GWIt was taken to. Türkiye should further aggressive the powerful acceleration that exists to achieve the updated targets.

In the last two and a half years, sun and wind energy production has contributed to Turkey’s energy independence by preventing natural gas imports of $ 15 billion. Only solar energy produced 52 TwH electricity in this period and provided 6 percent of the country’s total electricity supply.

In addition, the report underlines that 33 GW project stock is waiting in storage power plants. It is stated that Turkey can increase solar energy acceleration using floating, storage, hybrid and solar energy potential. There are already associated with 33 GW storage sun and wind project stock.

Solar energy can exceed 55 GW by 2030

According to the report, in order to increase Turkey’s solar energy capacity and maintain the current acceleration, the roof, hybrid and battery storage power plants may play an important role. While hybrid power plants reduce additional network investments using existing network capacity efficiently, storage power plants can provide rapid growth potential in Turkey’s energy storage capacity. The report underlines that Turkey has at least 120 GW solar potential on the roofs.

According to the transmitters, solar capacity can exceed 55 GW by 2030 with hybrid power plants, YEKA projects and 24 GW Öztuction -based power plants developing currently being developed.
