This marked a significant reduction in reliance on foreign sources, down to under 30 percent. Minister Alparslan Bayraktar highlighted the country's progress, stating that it has already achieved substantial strength in the electricity sector. The renewable capacity, which surpassed 80,000 megawatts, accounted for 63.1 percent of the total installed capacity of 127,355 megawatts as of September. Solar power, with an installed capacity of 28,222 megawatts, represented 22.2 percent of the total, while wind power, with 15,540 megawatts, made up 12.2 percent.
