Turkey - Natural Hub

12. Current Conditions of Turkey
With a rapidly growing economy, Turkey has become one of the fastest
growing energy markets in the world. Over the last decade, Turkey has
been the second country, after China, in terms of natural gas and
electricity demand growth.
Turkey’s demand for energy is nearly three-times higher than the world
average.

13. Current Conditions of Turkey
At present, around 25% of the total energy demand is
being met by domestic resources, while the rest is being
provided from a diversified portfolio of imports. The
primary aim of Turkey is to realize its own energy security.
Turkey aims to diversify its energy supply routes and
source countries, increase the share of renewables and
include the nuclear in its energy mix, take significant steps
to increase energy efficiency, contribute to Europe’s
energy security.
