According to the statistics of the Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation (TEİAŞ), Turkey generated 26,562 gw/h electricity as the totality of geothermal, wind and solar power in 2017, and this number reached 45,897 with a 72-percent increase in 2020. “Turkey is moving toward being a fully independent country in terms of energy, thanks to its huge investment in the energy sector,” says Mustafa Yiğit Zeren, CEO of Zeren Group, which invests in wind energy in Turkey and Europe.

The population of the world increases by 80 million each year, and energy consumption keeps up with this pace. Fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and natural gas become insufficient to balance the energy demand in the long term, and cause substantial damage to the world through the chemicals they emit. This situation brings renewable energy sources forward and makes the actions towards energy technologies become more noticeable in Turkey, as they are all around the world.
