The Share of Wind and Solar in Production in Turkey 13%
In Turkey, while the share of wind and sun in total electricity production increased to 13% in the first half of this year, although there was an increase of 1% in electricity generation from coal, emissions from electricity generation were the first of this year due to the decrease in electricity production from hydroelectric power plants due to drought and natural gas replacing hydroelectricity. increased by 19% in the first half of 2019 compared to the same period of 2019.
