Electricity generation in Turkey has increased by about 50 percent in the last 10 years. Electricity generation, which stood at 210 billion kilowatt hours <\/a>in 2010, increased to 331 billion kilowatt hours in 2021. The increase in electricity demand decreased by 0.3% in 2019, increased by 0.5% in 2020 and 8.1% in 2021. Electricity demand, which was 304 billion kilowatt hours in 2018, increased to 331 billion kilowatt hours<\/a> <\/a>in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a linear relationship<\/a> between electricity consumption and economic activity in Turkey. It can be said that the sudden changes in the Turkish economy and growth rate are reflected in electricity consumption, and that the growth trend seen in developed countries by consuming less energy has not yet been observed in Turkey <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2010 and 2020, primary energy supply increased by 36%<\/a> and electricity demand increased by 44%<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lion’s share of Turkey’s primary energy supply belongs to fossil fuels. As of 2020, the share of coal in primary energy supply is 27.6%, oil is 28.6% and natural gas is 27%<\/a>. The remaining 16.8% consists of hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and energy sources obtained from waste. The share of fossil resources in primary energy supply is 83.3%, while the share of imported resources is 70.2%.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
