Türkiye and the World Bank are in discussion to finance a $28 billion energy transmission infrastructure project, a cornerstone of Türkiye's renewable energy transformation plan.

The initiative aligns with Türkiye's 2035 renewable energy targets, aiming to expand the country's energy capacity and diversify its resources.

Türkiye's daily and monthly natural gas and crude oil production broke new records in October, according to the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry.

Domestic crude oil production reached an all-time monthly high of 3.36 million barrels, while the country's natural gas output hit 234.4 million cubic meters, the ministry said in a statement on Nov. 6.

Wind and solar power are supplying energy to Türkiye's large and crucial Silivri and Lake Tuz natural gas storage facilities.

The Silivri natural gas facility has a 4.2 megawatts wind power plant, which provides all the electricity the facility consumes, according to a statement by the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry.

Türkiye's installed solar power capacity surpassed the 12,000 megawatts (MW) mark for the first time, reaching 12,425 MW as of February, according to a statement by the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry.

The share of renewable energy in electricity production was over 51 percent in the first two months of 2024, the statement added.

In the latest development in the investigation into a landslide at a mine in the eastern province of Erzincan, two engineers from the operating company have been arrested, bringing the total number of arrests to eight.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has issued a decree, as published in the country's official gazette, announcing significant appointments ranging from deputy ministers to board directors of state-owned enterprises.

Some 35 million cubic meters of soil will be displaced to reach nine missing miners in the landslide-hit gold mine in the eastern province of Erzincan amid the prosecutor's office's ongoing investigation.

In the aftermath of the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes, the indomitable spirit of mine workers has played a pivotal role in search and rescue operations.

Floating solar panels have the potential to give a huge boost to Türkiye's installed electricity capacity, according to a top official from the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry.

The Energy and Natural Resources Ministry has produced a conservation guide that recommends heating government offices to a maximum of 22 degrees Celsius in winter, installing solar panels on their roofs, and using bicycles for campus transportation at public institutions.
