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. Tokcan highlighted the importance of local expertise in manufacturing, system management, and maintenance to avoid dependency on foreign firms.
According 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). Türkiye’s share of renewable energy will increase to 64.7% with solar power capacity increasing 432% and wind capacity increasing 158%.
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.
Türkiye has a semi-liberalized and moderately regulated market. Energy Exchange Istanbul (EXIST) is Türkiye’s electricity spot market, which manages day-ahead and intraday markets where 40% of electricity is traded among 854 market participants. EXIST’s website features electricity prices in real time.
Turkish regulations stipulate that renewable energy investments of less than 5 MW do not require a license from the Energy Regulatory Authority (EMRA). Roof-top solar energy producers can sell their excess electricity to the grid at a maximum limit of 5 MW if they are production plant owners, and 10 kW if they are homeowners.
