Local energy storage projects still need to be approved by the Turkish government to go ahead, and according to PwC, the licensed capacity for energy storage construction in Turkey is 160 GW, for which 2,700 applications have been received.
This article highlights legal provisions promoting the expansion of renewable energy investments with storage systems, aligning with Turkey''s strategic goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2053.
Why recent awards of pre-licensing for large-scale projects in Turkey mean a "very promising market" for energy storage is about to open.
The energy storage market in Türkiye will witness significant transformations between 2023 and 2027, primarily influenced by the decreasing costs of lithium-ion batteries.
Global energy storage investments have surpassed 150 GWh. Türkiye has already begun installations in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Spain, leveraging its geographic advantage close to Europe.
As solar and wind projects mushroom across Anatolia, large energy storage systems have become the unsung heroes balancing grid stability. Let''s explore the top players making this possible.
Türkiye plans to reach 7.5 GW of battery energy storage and 5 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2035. While batteries play a key role in short-term (hourly) balancing, electrolysers will enable seasonal energy storage by converting surplus electricity—especially from solar and wind—into e-fuels.
In this context, the study aims to analyse the spatial distribution of battery technologies across Türkiye, the services to benefit most from their use, and their effects on the transmission grid so that batteries can be utilised efficiently as an instrument to increase flexibility in a wider effort to maximise the use of renewable energy

Tokcan highlighted the importance of local expertise in manufacturing, system management, and maintenance to avoid dependency on foreign firms.
Energy Storage Industries Association (EDEDER) President Can Tokcan noted during a press briefing that finalizing regulations is crucial to accelerating investments. “The draft regulation for energy storage has been published, but the final version needs to be issued urgently.
