SOLAR FUTURE IN TURKEY

摘要

With a population reaching 76.7 million [1], Turkey’s energy consumption based on primary energy resources are continuing to increase. Total installed capacity of electricity is 69 516 MW and broke down by resources as 59,7 % thermic (natural gas, coals, liquid fuels etc.), 34 % hydro, 5,2 % wind and 1,1 % other renewables [2]. Turkey pays millions of dollars to its energy imports every year. The solar energy has the potential to reduce this cost in outstanding size in medium and long term.
