Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
MENR, Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (ETKB in Turkish) controls the energy sector.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
TEK, the Turkish Electricity Authority, which acted as the national power company until 1993, was gradually split into four companies: EUAS (Production), TEIAS (Transmission), TEDAS (Distribution), and TETAS (Marketing).
Energy Supply
Oil:
Turkey covers only 11% of its total oil needs with a production of 4.0 Mt of crude oil (2020).
The total refining capacity of 0.8 mb/d is distributed over 6 refineries, including 2 large ones belonging to Tupras: Izmir and Izmit (0.2 mb/d each). The STAR refinery (0.2 mb/d) was completed in 2018 by Socar.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
In 2021, electricity prices decreased for the second consecutive year to €8.2c/kWh in both industry and residential (-9% vs 2020). In 2019, the industrial electricity price increased significantly (+34% compared to 2018), equalling the residential price, that had increased slightly (+8%).
Energy Consumption
Total consumption per capita is around 1.7 toe (2020) (of which 3 090 kWh from electricity) compared to about 3.1 toe for the EU.
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
As part of the measures to reach its NDC objective, Turkey plans to raise its solar capacity to 10 GW and its wind capacity to 16 GW by 2030 (from 7 and 9 GW, respectively, in 2020). It also aims at commissioning a nuclear power plant and reducing T&D losses to 15% by 2030.
An objective of 4 GW of geothermal capacity in 2030 has also been set.
