Renewables Hit 61% of Turkey's Electricity Amid Hormuz Crisis
Original: Amid Hormuz Energy Crisis, Renewables generate 61% of Turkish Electricity
Turkey generated 61% of its electricity from renewable sources at a time when the Strait of Hormuz crisis has raised fears over global oil and gas supply. Analysts point to the figure as evidence that investment in wind, solar and hydro can reduce exposure to Middle East energy shocks. The milestone has drawn attention to Turkey's energy strategy and to renewables more broadly as a hedge against supply disruption.
Why now: The Hormuz energy crisis is prompting renewed interest in countries that can rely on domestic renewable power.
