Türkiye has increased the share of renewables in its total installed electricity capacity to 62% by expanding wind and solar power, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, according to Anadolu.
Speaking at the Introduction Program of the Cemre Fund, the president said: “By expanding wind and solar power, we increased the share of renewables in total installed capacity to 62%.”
He added that investments in nuclear energy, which had been neglected for nearly a century, have also been accelerated as part of efforts to diversify the country’s energy mix.
He noted that Türkiye has undertaken the hosting of COP31 and will welcome nearly 200 countries in Antalya this year.
“Following challenging diplomatic negotiations, we assumed the hosting of COP31. This year in Antalya, we will host nearly 200 countries,” he said.
He said: “We will say ‘It is no longer time for words, but for action.’”
