Türkiye (Turkey)

Türkiye generated 42% of its electricity from clean sources, above the global average of 39%.

Türkiye became the second largest coal-fired power generator in Europe in 2023, with coal accounting for over a third of its total power generation. 

In 2023, fossil fuels generated 58% of the country’s electricity. Its per capita emissions were similar to the global average.

Despite enormous potential, Türkiye produced only 16% of its electricity from wind and solar in 2023. With solar accounting for just 6% of its power generation, the country lags behind nations with similar solar potential, such as Greece (19%) and even those with lower solar potential, such as Poland (7%).

Türkiye aims for 47% renewable electricity by 2030, while the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions scenario sets out a global target of 60% renewable electricity by 2030.
