Power generation capacity exceeds 120 gigawatts in July's record-breaking numbers.

In a recent announcement, Turkey's Energy and Natural Resources Ministry reported a notable increase in the share of renewables in the country's installed electricity capacity. As of the end of July, renewable energy sources account for 61.1% of Turkey's total installed electricity capacity, marking a significant stride towards a greener future.

The ministry emphasised Turkey's commitment to diversifying its energy mix and strengthening its renewable energy infrastructure. The combined installed capacity of wind and solar energy now stands at 30.9%, amounting to 37,118 megawatts, a clear indication of the country's dedication to renewable energy.

Hydropower continues to be a significant contributor, accounting for 26.9% of Turkey's renewable energy installed capacity, with a total of 32,289 megawatts. However, the organization that achieved this milestone at the end of July remains unnamed in the provided search results.

The growth in overall capacity has been continuous, with Turkey's total installed electricity capacity exceeding 120,000 megawatts as of the end of July. Domestic energy sources represent 70.7% of Turkey's overall capacity, amounting to 84,959 megawatts.

Beyond hydropower, wind power contributes 11.4% to Turkey's renewable energy capacity, with a total of 13,695 megawatts. Biomass and geothermal sources combined account for 1.9% and 1.4% of Turkey's renewable energy capacity, with respective totals of 2,337 megawatts and 1,734 megawatts. Solar energy, meanwhile, has a 19.5% share, with a total installed capacity of 23,423 megawatts.

However, no new information about the future plans or goals for Turkey's renewable energy sector was mentioned. Additionally, no details about the impact of this capacity increase on energy production or consumption were provided. The ministry's announcement focuses primarily on the current state of renewable energy in Turkey, leaving room for anticipation about the country's future renewable energy ambitions.
