It is derived from the most recent key economic indicators, supply and demand factors, oil and gas pricing trends and major energy issues and developments surrounding the energy industry. The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.

Highlights

  • The country targets producing 50% of its electricity from renewables in 2023.
  • It pledges to cut its GHG emissions in 2030 by 21% below a BAU scenario, which would imply a level of emissions more than twice as high as in 2012.
  • Private companies account for around 80% of the power capacity.
  • Electricity and gas distribution is in the hand of municipal companies.
  • The country is very dependent on natural gas and oil imports (99% and 90%, respectively, in 2021).
  • The share of wind, solar, and geothermal in the power mix has increased by 13 points since 2010 to 17%. Generation from coal and lignite, that was fast growing until 2018, has stabilized since then.
  • Motor fuel prices were divided by a factor of 2 between 2015 and 2021. In 2022, high electricity and gas price hikes have been implemented.
  • Total energy demand surged in 2021 (+10%), after a period of stability over 2017-2020.
  • Power generation absorbs a large share of coal and lignite.
  • Buildings are the main gas consumers, while oil is mostly used in transport.
  • Only one nuclear project is moving forward. The development of coal and lignite-fired generation, as well as renewable electricity sources, is continuing.
  • Significant amounts of natural gas have recently been discovered in the Black Sea by TPAO.

  • 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

    Resources:

    Turkey has limited oil and gas reserves (55 Mt and 6 bcm at the end of 2021). However, the country holds an estimated 680 bcm of recoverable unconventional gas. Its coal and lignite resources (over 6 Gt) are of poor quality and their extraction cost is high (for coal).

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    In 2021, the industrial and residential gas prices both decreased significantly to €1.67c/kWh (-20%) and €1.89c/kWh (-18%), respectively. In 2019, gas prices had increased both for industry and households by 30% and 10%, respectively, following successive price hikes. Previously, they decreased rapidly between 2013 and 2018 (-5%/year for industry and -10%/year for households).

  • Energy Consumption

    Total consumption per capita is around 1.9 toe (2021) (of which 3 300 kWh of 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 8 and 11 GW, respectively, in 2021). 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 (from 2 GW in 2021).
