Türkiye reached 1/3 of its 2035 solar and wind capacity target in 2025

Türkiye’s total installed electricity capacity rose to 122.5 GW by the end of December 2025, according to the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry (Anadolu Agency, 22/01/2026).

Renewable energy accounted for 76.3 GW, or 62.3% of the country’s total installed capacity, the ministry said. By the end of 2025, solar power reached 25.1 GW (20.5% of total capacity) and wind power reached 14.8 GW (12.1%). “Our total installed solar and wind capacity has approached 40 GW. We have already achieved one-third of our 120 GW target for solar and wind,” the ministry said.

Emphasizing generation rather than capacity, the ministry noted that in 2025: 

  • Solar power accounted for a record 10.5% of electricity generation
  • Wind power reached an all-time high of 10.7%

Together, wind and solar contributed more than one-fifth of Türkiye’s total power generation in 2025. Additionally, 56.7% of total electricity generation came from domestic and renewable resources.
