Türkiye's total installed electricity generation capacity rose to 122,519 megawatts (MW) as of the end of December, according to the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry on Wednesday.
Renewable energy accounted for 76,281 MW, or 62.3% of the country's total installed capacity, the ministry said.
By the end of last year, the share of solar power in installed capacity reached 25,109 MW, or 20.5%, while wind power accounted for 14,774 MW, or 12.1%. The combined installed capacity of solar and wind rose to 39,883 MW, representing 32.6% of total capacity in 2025.
Total electricity consumption in 2025 climbed to an all-time high of 360,929 gigawatt-hours, while electricity generation reached a record of 362,992 gigawatt-hours.
Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said in a statement that Türkiye aims to increase its installed solar and wind capacity to 120,000 MW by 2035.
"Our total installed solar and wind capacity has approached 40,000 MW. We have already achieved one-third of our 120,000-megawatt target for solar and wind," Bayraktar said.
Emphasizing that the share of solar power in electricity generation rose to a record 10.5% in 2025, while wind power's share reached an all-time high of 10.7%, Bayraktar noted that more than one-fifth of Türkiye's total electricity generation last year came from wind and solar sources.
Bayraktar added that 56.7% of total electricity generation was supplied from domestic and renewable resources, saying, "We will continue to boost Türkiye's energy capacity with its own resources and strengthen our supply security."
