Türkiye's hydroelectric power generation hit a record all-time monthly high in April, driven by stronger seasonal rainfall that boosted reservoir levels and renewable output, official data showed Monday.
Data from the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry showed hydroelectric plants generated 11.66 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in April, the highest monthly hydropower output ever recorded in the country.
Total electricity production stood at 28.14 billion kWh during the month, with hydroelectric facilities accounting for 41.4% of overall generation.
Renewables are a key part of Türkiye's broader push to diversify energy supply, reduce its heavy import dependence and strengthen long-term energy security.
The sharp rise in hydropower production also helped Türkiye achieve a new renewable electricity generation record.
