Türkiye's installed electricity capacity rose to 125,410 megawatts (MW) as of the end of April, according to official data, propelled by a rapid growth in variable renewable sources such as solar and wind.
The Energy and Natural Resources Ministry said renewable sources accounted for 62.5% of total installed capacity, equivalent to 78,377 megawatts. The ministry also reported that domestically sourced capacity reached 71.7% of the total electricity mix.
Solar energy has emerged as the fastest-growing segment in Türkiye's power system, reaching 26,769 megawatts and accounting for 21.3% of total installed capacity.
Wind power increased to 15,075 megawatts, representing 12% of total capacity.
Together, wind and solar reached 41,844 megawatts, or 33.3% of Türkiye's total installed electricity capacity, meaning roughly one-third of installed capacity now comes from the two renewable sources alone.
