Jul 4, 2024 · Turkish electricity sector experienced several challenges over the last 3 years. Unlike most other countries, electricity demand in Türkiye stood firm at the face of Covid-19 pressure.
Türkiye’s electricity generation data is obtained from the Transparency Platform of the market operator, EPİAŞ. “Real Time Generation” dataset is used for licensed electricity generation, while the “Unlicensed Electricity Generation” dataset is used for unlicensed electricity generation.
By the end of May 2025, the installed capacity of Türkiye has reached 119,271 MW. As of the end of May 2025, the distribution of installed capacity by resources is as follows: 27.1% hydraulic, 20.6% natural gas, 18.4% coal, 11.2% wind, 19% solar, 1.5% geothermal and 2.2% other sources.
According to Türkiye’s 2020–2035 National Energy Plan, Türkiye’s power generation capacity will reach 189.7 GW in 2035 (a 79% increase from 2023). Türkiye’s share of renewable energy will increase to 64.7% with solar power capacity increasing 432% and wind capacity increasing 158%.
The shares of resources in electricity generation in 2024 were as follows: Coal: 35.2%, Natural gas: 18.9%, Hydropower: 21.5%, Wind: 10.5%, Solar: 7.5% from Geothermal: 3.2%, Other Sources: 3.2%. By the end of May 2025, the installed capacity of Türkiye has reached 119,271 MW.
In addition to the increase in demand, the year-on-year increase in electricity generation totalled 23 TWh due to Türkiye's transition from a net importer of electricity to an exporter in 2024. The 7.3 TWh increase in solar met 32% of the increase in electricity generation.
The annual gross electricity consumption in 2024 increased by 3.8% to 347.9 TWh, compared to the previous year. Electricity generation reached 348.9 TWh, increasing by 5.4%. According to the results of the Türkiye National Energy Plan, electricity consumption is expected to be 380.2 TWh in 2025, 455.3 TWh in 2030, 510.5 TWh in 2035.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
