In a year of extreme volatility and uncertainty due to #COVID19, Turkey achieved great success in the field of energy, marking critical milestones in the E&P sector and further tapping her renewable energy potential. Here is 2020 energy outlook of 🇹🇷Turkey. #TurKEyforEnergy
January 2020. New high for monthly 🇹🇷 Turkish gas consumption: >6,7 bcm. (For a quick comparison, total "annual" natural gas consumption in 🇬🇷 Greece increased only to 5.1 bcm in 2019.) For 🇺🇸 U.S. readers, billion cubic meters: bcm and 10 bcm/year = 1 bcf/d #ongt
February 2020: The National Technologies in Turkish Petroleum Industry ( #PEMT20) meeting was held by
@trpetrolleri supported by @TCEnerji. With this vision, 🇹🇷Turkey now has her own fracking unit, drilling tower and underwater robot for E&P. #MadeInTurkiye #oott #TurKEYforEnergy
April 2020: New high for Turkish power generation on monthly basis. 66% of total monthly power generation in Turkey came from renewables, and 79.6% from renewables and indigenous sources. #Renewables
May 24, 2020: An incredible new high for daily national power generation in Turkey. 90% of daily electricity generation came from indigenous and renewable sources. #Renewables
June 2020: New record at EXIST Natural Gas Market. Turkey is the only country in the broader Black Sea-SE European and Mediter. regions w/4 LNG regasification units, well linked & integrated into its national gas grid, and with a spot gas trading mechanism through @epias.
August 2020. A major milestone for solar panels production with a seal “Made in Türkiye". 🇹🇷 Turkey's first and Europe's and the Middle East's only integrated solar panel manufacturing facility was inaugurated. #Renewables
August 21, 2020: Our President announced 🇹🇷Turkey's largest-ever find –by quite a margin– and 2nd-biggest globally in 2020 gas discovery. The discovery was a great potential to reshape energy outlook of the region, reaffirming the Black Sea’s deepwater reserves.
#TurKEYforEnergy
September 3, 2020: All-time daily electricity generation record in Turkey exceeding 1 billion kilowatt-hours.
October 17, 2020: Turkey revised the quantity of gas discovery at Sakarya gas field upwards to 405 bcm, from 320 bcm announced on August 21 by our President. Production target 2023. #TurKEYforEnergy
Sun shined and wind blew strong in 🇹🇷 Turkey in 2020. With an increase of 740 MW in the first eleven months of 2020, total installed wind power reached 8,330 MW. In the same period, with an increase of 508 MW, total installed solar power surpassed 6.503 MW. #Renewables
25 November 2020: Turkey's daily #power generation from wind hits another record. Wind electricity generation daily record was 1⃣5⃣3⃣ GWh. Turkey managed to increase her installed power capacity x3 in 20 years. Much of this growth came from #renewables recently.
December 26, 2020. 🇹🇷 Turkey inaugurated its first lithium production factory — a major step in the development of lithium batteries for decades to come in the race for electric cars. #EVs #LithiumBattery
Turkey made a huge leap forward in evaluation of geothermal resources for electricity generation in 2020. Turkey continues to be the fastest growing country in #geothermal development (from 30 MW in 2008 to 1,576 MW in 2020). No country has ever seen such a leap! #renewables
In 2020, 8.44% of Turkey's total electricity generation came from wind. (even without any offshore wind power generation yet.) #TÜREB #Windpower #Renewables #TurKEYforEnergy
🇹🇷 Turkey’s installed power generation capacity reached ~95.9 GW with ~1GW increase in December 2020. More importantly, 95% of this monthly increase came from renewables. Here is the breakdown ▪️Hydro:436 MW ▪️Wind:155 MW ▪️Biomass:63 MW ▪️Solar:57 MW @kurumsalTEIAS @TCEnerji
In 2020, the volume in the Natural Gas Market operated by EXIST increased 64% on y-o-y basis. Also an annual record was broken in the Day Ahead Market operated by EXIST. Total cleared amount in 2020 was 181,36 TWh

Global LNG imports in 2020 were ≈equal to 2019 mainly due to #Covid19 demand restraints (≈10% annual growth rate since 2016). In 2020, Japan remained the top importer & Qatar the top exporter. However, China, India and Turkey were standout stars in 2020. #lng #TurKEYforEnergy
In 2020, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline delivered 210.7 million barrels of crude oil loaded on 278 oil tankers. Since 2006, the total amount of oil transported via the BTC pipeline amounted to > 3.5 billion barrels. #oott #EnergySecurity
