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].
