Turkey plans to invest $108 billion over the next decade in renewable energy infrastructure, lifting combined wind and solar installed capacity to 120 GW by 2035, Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said on September 17.

Bayraktar said the country has set a roadmap to provide for about $80 billion in electricity generation capacity and another $28 billion in transmission infrastructure, with grid expansion intended to deliver power from solar and wind plants to consumers.

Turkey also aims for electricity to cover up to 35% of final energy consumption by 2035, with electrification of transport, buildings and industry seen as protecting households and businesses from market volatility.

At the same time, Ankara continues to expand oil and gas production domestically and abroad while seeking to strengthen its role as a regional gas hub for Europe. State-owned TPAO is developing the Sakarya field in the Black Sea, producing 9.5 million cubic meters of gas per day, and holds interests in Pakistan, Libya and Somalia.

Turkey already sources plenty of electricity from non-fossil sources. Hydropower now accounts for around 17% of total generation, while wind and solar together accounted for 22% in 2025. Coal, however, remains at a higher share of the country's energy mix, at 34%.
