What happened
Türkiye’s 2027 Presidential Annual Programme projects TRY 538.255 billion in fixed-capital investment for the energy sector. This would represent a 29.7% increase on the TRY 414.916 billion estimated for 2026.
Public-sector investment is forecast at TRY 198.738 billion, while private-sector investment is expected to total TRY 339.517 billion.
The programme includes targets for generation, networks, nuclear power and fuel security. It calls for 2,000 MW of connection capacity to be allocated through renewable energy resource area tenders for solar and wind, plus a 1,000 MW offshore-wind connection-capacity tender.
Total installed electricity capacity is projected to rise from 131,112 MW in 2026 to 140,047 MW in 2027. Solar capacity is expected to increase from 30,205 MW to 35,705 MW, while wind capacity is projected to reach 18,010 MW from 16,010 MW. Renewable sources are expected to provide 52% of electricity generation in 2027.
Why it matters
The planned private investment points to a substantial role for companies in delivering Türkiye’s energy build-out. Renewable developers, equipment suppliers, grid contractors and storage providers are among the businesses relevant to the proposed capacity additions and tender programmes.
Grid investment is intended to support the integration of new renewable generation. The programme targets completion of 12 transformer substations with combined capacity of 1,585 MVA and 1,300 km of transmission lines. Battery storage capacity is expected to increase from 850 MW in 2026 to 2,350 MW in 2027.
For energy users and investors, the plan also places emphasis on supply security. Underground gas-storage capacity is targeted to rise from 6.8 billion cubic metres to 7.8 billion cubic metres.
What's next
In 2027, the programme targets the start of operation for the first unit at the Akkuyu nuclear power plant and completion of construction work on its second unit. It also envisages setting draft principles for agreements with technology-provider countries or companies for proposed nuclear projects in Sinop and Thrace.
Work on the Sakarya gas field is scheduled to continue, including drilling at eight wells. Annual natural-gas production is targeted to reach 7 billion cubic metres in 2027, compared with an estimated 3.3 billion cubic metres in 2026. Daily crude-oil production is projected at 144,000 barrels, up from 135,000 barrels.
The programme also targets 60% completion of work on the Tortum-Ahıska electricity interconnection line and completion of agreement preparations for the Vize Havza-Maritsa East 2 interconnection. Progress on the National SCADA System Project is planned to reach 60%.
