Türkiye Izmir 10 7 billion wind and solar energy storage project
The energy storage and green hydrogen development project will see the installation of a 200 MWh battery enabled storage system near Tblisi, reducing emissions by an estimated 15%
The facilitation of self-consumption-focused power plant installations in Türkiye has accelerated annual new installations, pushing solar energy capacity beyond the current 2025 target. Türkiye's solar energy capacity doubled from 9.7 GW in July 2022 to exceed 19 GW by the end of 2024.
Türkiye's 35 GWh storage capacity accounts for grid-scale projects alone. Global energy storage investments have surpassed 150 GWh. Türkiye has already begun installations in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Spain, leveraging its geographic advantage close to Europe.
Under the LTS, Türkiye's 2035 solar capacity target was revised to 77 GW, which is 45% higher than the 53 GW target set in the earlier NEP. A line chart showing Türkiye's solar energy capacity (MW) from 2017 to 2035. The green line represents historical capacity growth, surpassing the 2025 target in 2024.
While no grid-scale storage-integrated power plants are operational in Türkiye yet, the country has a robust pipeline of approximately 33 GW of storage-integrated wind and solar projects with pre-licensing periods extending until 2030. This strong investor interest highlights the potential of storage-integrated power plants.
