Türkiye ranked as Europe's second-largest country in installed hydropower capacity last year, trailing only Norway, according to the latest industry data.
Türkiye's hydroelectric power capacity reached approximately 32,294 megawatts (MW) in 2025, figures compiled from the International Hydropower Association's (IHA) 2026 World Hydropower Outlook showed.
The report said Türkiye surpassed major European economies including France, Spain and Italy in installed hydropower capacity.
Globally, it ranked ninth, behind China, Brazil, the United States, Canada, India, Russia, Japan and Norway.
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.
