Turkey — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 424 energy assets in Turkey across 12 layers — the 20th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 207 power plants, 76 cement plants and 42 coal / uranium mines. Operating generation capacity is 73.8 GW, led by gas at 33%. Refining capacity is about 786 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Elektrik Üretim AS (EÜAŞ) (27), BOTAŞ (26) and Limak Holding AŞ (12), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Turkey's mapped assets in service predate 2008 (median commissioning year of the 323 with a known date), 74 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Aslan Darıca Cement Plant, dating from 1911. 32 projects are under construction or proposed, led by İğneada nuclear power plant (5.3 GW).
