Turkey is working to boost its renewable energy capacity to reduce its reliance on energy imports amid rising prices due to the crisis and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Renewables accounted for more than half of the country's total installed capacity at the end of March, totaling more than 100 gigawatts. Renewables accounted for more than 95 percent of the country's new electricity capacity last year. The annual consumption of natural gas is expected to reach 6.2-63 billion cubic meters in 2022.
