Energy sector in Turkey - statistics & facts
As a country experiencing rapid economic and industrial growth, and a continuously growing population, Turkey has an ever-increasing energy need and demand. Although Turkey’s geographical location is very close to many oil and gas-rich countries in the Middle East, the country’s domestic natural energy sources are not self-sufficient. Accordingly, net energy imports into the country have been on the rise since the 90s, reaching an import volume of nearly 5,200 petajoules in 2022. Moreover, the volume of electricity imports into the country recorded the second-highest value in 2023, with 6.1 terawatt hours.
