Wind power plants make up 15,434 MW of this total, while combined wind and solar capacity has risen to 43,348 MW, a 34.2% share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Total renewable capacity reached 79,902 MW, or 62.9% of the installed base. Hydropower remains the largest single source at 32,331 MW (25.5%), and domestic resources account for 72.1% of total installed capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A decade of wind and solar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 21 September 2026, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar shared figures on the contribution of wind and solar over the past decade. Between 2015 and 2025, T\u00fcrkiye generated a total of 442.2 TWh of electricity from wind and solar, up from 11,847 GWh from the two sources in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Ministry\u2019s calculations, generating the same amount of electricity from coal would have emitted around 354 million tonnes of CO\u2082, and around 177 million tonnes if generated from natural gas. The output is estimated to have avoided USD 21.5 billion of imports in the coal scenario and USD 43.3 billion in the natural gas scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Target: 120 GW of wind and solar by 2035<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">T\u00fcrkiye aims to reach 120,000 MW of combined wind and solar capacity by 2035. For wind, new capacity toward this goal is being brought forward through the Ministry\u2019s YEKA (Renewable Energy Resource Area) competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Republic of T\u00fcrkiye Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, \u201cG\u00fcne\u015fin Kurulu G\u00fc\u00e7 \u0130\u00e7erisindeki Pay\u0131 Y\u00fczde 22\u2019ye Ula\u015ft\u0131\u201d, 26 September 2026. <a href=\"https:\/\/enerji.gov.tr\/haber-detay?id=31933\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enerji.gov.tr<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Republic of T\u00fcrkiye Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, \u201cS\u0131f\u0131r Emisyon Hedefine G\u00fcne\u015f ve R\u00fczg\u00e2rdan Kuvvetli Destek\u201d, 21 September 2026. <a href=\"https:\/\/enerji.gov.tr\/haber-detay?id=31930\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enerji.gov.tr<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>End-August 2026 data from T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources show installed wind capacity at 15,434 MW, or 12.2% of the country\u2019s total.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wpai_generated_summary":"","footnotes":"","_ms_company":[]},"categories":[7325],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wind-energy-sector-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20105"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20129,"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20105\/revisions\/20129"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ruzgarenerjisi.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
