Ahead of the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Turkey is showing rapid growth in renewable energy: wind and solar provided 22% of electricity last year. However, coal remains the largest source of generation, and the country has no date for phasing out fossil fuels.
Aziz KarimovIn January–September 2026, oil production fell by 1.6%, gas condensate by 14.1%, and natural gas by 16.4% compared with 2025 levels. At the same time, the gap from last year narrowed for most indicators compared with January–August, while gasoline, diesel fuel and cement production is growing.
Aziz KarimovGlobal Energy Monitor analysts note that over ten years Turkey has almost entirely abandoned new coal projects: of the 54.5 GW pipeline from 2014, only a few proposals remain. Wind and solar account for a third of installed capacity, and by 2035 the country plans to bring their combined capacity to 120 GW. According to the energy ministry's estimate, clean energy displaced fossil fuel imports worth $21.5 billion in 2015–2025.
