Türkiye’s renewable energy capacity has now reached 58,462 megawatts, elevating it to the 11th position in the global ranking.

“We now rank among the top 11 countries globally in renewable energy and rank fifth in Europe.

Türkiye intends to incorporate renewable resources, such as solar, wind, hydraulic, and geothermal, into its energy mix within a certain program,” Bayraktar said in a statement.

The nation targets adding 5,000 megawatts of fresh renewable energy capacity annually, with 3,500 megawatts from solar energy and 1,500 megawatts from wind power, as stated by Bayraktar.

Every kilowatt-hour of renewable electricity means a reduction in the amount of natural gas, coal, and oil the country imports, the minister noted.

According to IRENA, China, the United States, Brazil, India, Germany, Japan, Canada, Spain, France, and Italy occupy the top 10 places in world ranking of installed renewable energy capacity.
