In 2018, Turkey's first large-scale battery plant was established in Manisa, integrated with a wind power station. During the following year, Turkey's first grid-connected solar energy and storage facility came into operation in Konya, showcasing simultaneous solar energy generation and battery storage.
The latest announcement is a big step towards establishing a market for large-scale energy storage in the country, Energy-Storage.news heard from Korkut Öztürkmen, board member at Aksa Energy, one of Turkey's largest independent power producers (IPPs).
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%.
