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.
Turkey is aligning with the global trend of grid-scale storage and smart grid applications in energy storage technology. Several projects are planned, leveraging Turkey’s advantageous position in renewable energy resources.
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).
The target for battery storage is 7.5 GW. With these and other clean energy measures, the government is boosting energy security as an integral part of efforts to decarbonize Türkiye’s economy by 2053. The program is innovative for its use of country systems and for building a platform to diversify private financing.
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. Tokcan highlighted the importance of local expertise in manufacturing, system management, and maintenance to avoid dependency on foreign firms.
The government aims to significantly scale-up solar energy to 52.9 gigawatts (GW) by 2035 from 9.5 GW in 2022. The target for battery storage is 7.5 GW. With these and other clean energy measures, the government is boosting energy security as an integral part of efforts to decarbonize Türkiye’s economy by 2053.
