![]() ![]() As a result, Türkiye plans to continue supporting renewable energy investments including nuclear energy projects on a BOT or build-own-operate (BOO) basis. Türkiye has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2053. The annual growth rate in additional power generation capacity has been around 5% due to growing economic activity and a rising population in Türkiye. Türkiye has a large and growing manufacturing base which requires an increasing amount of power generation. In addition, a nuclear power plant is currently being built by Russian company Rosatom at a capacity of 4.6 GW (1.2 GW X 4 units). The market’s hydroelectric capacity will increase to 11% while NG will see a 38% increase. Türkiye’s share of renewable energy will increase to 64.7% with solar power capacity increasing 432% and wind capacity increasing 158%. Türkiye currently has approximately 31.6 GW of hydroelectric, 25.75 GW of natural gas (NG), 21.3 GW of coal, 11.45 GW of wind, 9.93 GW of solar, 1.7 GW of geothermal, and approximately 2 GW of biomass power plant installed capacity.Īccording to Türkiye’s 2020–2035 National Energy Plan, Türkiye’s power generation capacity will reach 189.7 GW in 2035 (a 79% increase from 2023). Approximately 56% of Türkiye’s electric power generation capacity consist of renewable energy, including hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass power plants, making Türkiye the fifth-largest generator of renewable energy in Europe and the 11th largest in the world. Türkiye, with an electric power generation capacity of approximately 105 GW, is Europe’s sixth-largest electricity market and the 14th largest in the world.

Our main conclusion is that the energy transition is going to increase the number of inter-connections to the grid by 10-100x. So again, growth in these categories would lead grids to become more fragmented. Indeed, the combined capacity of 2,000 landfill gas power plants in the US today is about the same as the country’s largest coal plant. But per the charts above, these facilities still tend to be small, at 1MW, 2MW, 23MW and 20MW. Smaller generation sources. We have recently written about opportunities in landfill gas, fuel cells, geothermal, and biomass power. And indeed, the smallest nuclear plant in America is actually bigger than the largest wind farm, as of 2022. 72 of the 100 largest generators in the country are nuclear reactors. Nuclear absolutely dominates the rankings of power plant sizes. However, a c100MW gas turbine lives in a warehouse near its customers, while a 100MW wind farm covers 10,000 acres, situated a few hundred km away. Gas and wind capacity metrics actually look remarkably similar, with mean sizes of 92MW and 84MW respectively, and interquartile ranges of 8-160MW and 5-144MW. This may impact the demand for power grids and transformers. So “replacing” 1 typical coal plant with 1 grid connection requires c100 solar plants with c100 grid connections. But the average coal plant is 380MW with 50% utilization, while the average solar plant is 11MW with 20% load factor. Switching coal to solar is a clear priority in the energy transition. ![]()
