Türkiye is accelerating its solar and wind energy investments in order to increase its share of renewable energy.
According to the statement made by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, the share of domestic resources in the total installed capacity was 72.1 percent in the same period.
As of the end of August, the installed power of solar energy increased to 27 thousand 914 megawatts, while its share in the total installed power was 22 percent. In wind energy, the installed power reached 15 thousand 434 megawatts and its share in the total installed power was 12.2 percent.
Thus, the total installed power of solar and wind energy increased to 43 thousand 348 megawatts, and its share in the total installed power increased to 34.2 percent.
Alparslan Bayraktar, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, stated in his post on his NSosyal account that they continue to strengthen Turkey's energy infrastructure.
Noting that Türkiye's installed electricity capacity reached 126 thousand 944 megawatts as of the end of August, Bayraktar made the following evaluations:
"While 62.9 percent of this power consists of renewable resources, we have reached a total installed power of 43 thousand 348 megawatts in solar and wind. The share of solar in our installed power has increased to 22 percent. We will increase the share of our clean, domestic and renewable resources day by day. By accelerating our renewable energy investments, especially solar and wind, we will both strengthen our energy supply security and take firm steps towards our 2053 Net Zero Emission target. Also during the COP31 process. "We will strongly demonstrate Türkiye's vision and concrete goals in this field. We will continue to work for a fully independent Türkiye in energy."
As of the end of August, the distribution of Türkiye's electricity installed capacity by resources was as follows:

Before the US/Israel-Iran War, 20 percent of the global oil and LNG supply passed through the Strait of Hormuz. During the crisis period, there was a deficit of 15.5 million barrels per day; open pipelines were offset by declines in inventories and consumption.

Fraunhofer ISI and ICCT research revealed that charging demand for electric trucks in Europe will reach 100 TWh in 2035 and 200 TWh in 2045.

Türkiye's total electricity installed power reached 126,944 MW as of the end of August 2026. While the share of clean energy was 62.9%, solar energy strengthened its position as the second largest source, leaving natural gas behind.

As of the end of August, Türkiye's total installed capacity of solar and wind energy reached 43 thousand 348 megawatts. Minister Alparslan Bayraktar stated that they will accelerate renewable energy investments.
According to the McKinsey Global Institute report, the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz was recorded as the largest energy supply disruption of the modern era and disrupted 14% of the global oil supply.

TPAO applied for an oil exploitation license in an area of 56 thousand 774 hectares for the oil field discovered in the Black Sea. In addition, the duration of the exploration license in Tekirdağ was extended until 2028.
