Share of Renewable Electricity in Gross Electricity Production

11.7- Share of Renewable Electricity in Gross Electricity Production

This response indicator is the ratio of the amount of the electricity produced by renewable sources to the (total) gross electricity consumption (total electricity produced + electricity imported – electricity exported).

As of the end of 2019, Turkey’s gross electricity consumption was 303,320.4 GWh. Electricity produced from renewable sources (133,379.2 GWh) was 44% of gross electricity consumption.

According to European Statistical Office (EUROSTAT), In 2019, the share of renewable electricity in gross electricity consumption was 34.2% in the EU-28^[102].
