Türkiye 2025 Energy Storage Project

Can Türkiye achieve a more ambitious growth trajectory in battery storage?

The scale of storage-integrated solar capacity alone demonstrates Türkiye’s potential to achieve a far more ambitious growth trajectory in battery storage, paving the way for stronger integration of renewable energy into the grid.

How big is Türkiye's energy storage capacity?

Türkiye’s 35 GWh storage capacity accounts for grid-scale projects alone. Global energy storage investments have surpassed 150 GWh. Türkiye has already begun installations in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Spain, leveraging its geographic advantage close to Europe.

Does Türkiye have a solar power plant?

The facilitation of self-consumption-focused power plant installations in Türkiye has accelerated annual new installations, pushing solar energy capacity beyond the current 2025 target. Türkiye’s solar energy capacity doubled from 9.7 GW in July 2022 to exceed 19 GW by the end of 2024.

Can Türkiye use untapped solar power to accelerate solar energy momentum?

Türkiye could utilize untapped capacities to advance solar energy momentum through floating, storage-integrated, hybrid and rooftop solar potential. The country has a pipeline of 33 GW in pre-licensed storage-integrated solar and wind projects, far exceeding the official 2030 target of 2.1 GW.

Are storage-integrated power plants possible in Türkiye?

While no grid-scale storage-integrated power plants are operational in Türkiye yet, the country has a robust pipeline of approximately 33 GW of storage-integrated wind and solar projects with pre-licensing periods extending until 2030. This strong investor interest highlights the potential of storage-integrated power plants.

How has Türkiye doubled its solar capacity?

Türkiye has doubled its solar capacity in just 2.5 years, surpassing its current target more than a year ahead of schedule. The progress underlines the opportunity for an upgraded target in its upcoming Nationally Determined Contribution. Available in: Türkçe
