Affordable and clean energy

Where does the electricity in your house come from?

In 2019 37% of the electricity production in Turkey comes from power plants working on coal, 30% from hydroelectric power plants, 18,86% from natural gas. The share of wind energy is 7.39%, geothermal electricity generation 2.83%, while electricity from the sun is only 0.06%.

  • Almost 80 percent of the energy produced in the world is based on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels damage the climate system, make people ill and increase the expenses of health systems.

  • Energy production is the dominant contributor to climate change, accounting for around 60 per cent of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity. Take action!
