The @iea.org’s World Energy Outlook is here
❌ Ignore the hype on an extended shelf life for fossil fuels
Renewables + electrification = an energy revolution ⚡
Let’s unpack what it all means

Cooling demand soared to nearly 3 TWh this hottest July in records in Türkiye, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 600,000 homes ⚡
This sharp rise shows how the summer heat directly increases Türkiye’s power demand.
Each 1 °C requires about 0.77 GW of extra generation capacity.

Türkiye’de alan soğutması için elektrik kullanımı 2030’a kadar İKİ KATINA çıkabilir. Bu da güneş enerjisinin önemini her zamankinden daha fazla olacağını ortaya koyuyor.

Due to the impact of rising electricity consumption from cooling, Türkiye's peak hourly electricity demand over the last thirty years has quadrupled!

July 2025 was the hottest July in the last 55 years! increased air conditioning (AC) usage drove Türkiye's hourly electricity consumption to a record high of 59 GWh.

High temperatures are causing electricity demand to surge in the summer in Türkiye 🌡️
As the country gets hotter, each 1 °C rise in average temperature could require an additional 0.77 GW of electricity generation for growing air conditioning use.

Yükselen sıcaklıklar Türkiye’de yaz aylarında elektrik talebini hızla artırıyor 🌡️
Ülke ısındıkça, ortalama sıcaklıktaki her 1 °C’lik artış, klima kullanımındaki büyüme nedeniyle fazladan 0,77 GW elektrik üretim kapasitesi gerektiriyor.

In the hottest hours of summer days, over one-tenth of Türkiye’s electricity is used for cooling and this share can reach up to 18% on extremely hot days
Solar energy peaks at the same time as cooling demand, making ☀️ a KEY solution for maintaining grid stability.

Yaz günlerinin en sıcak saatlerinde, Türkiye’nin elektrik tüketiminin %10’dan fazlası alan soğutmasından kaynaklanırken aşırı sıcak günlerde bu oran %18’i aşabiliyor.

NEW | Cooling-related electricity demand in Türkiye surged to 10 TWh in 2024, up by 19% compared to 2023.
This July alone, record heatwaves pushed cooling demand to 3 TWh.
Solar energy peaks at the same time, making it a KEY solution.

SOON | Record heatwaves in Türkiye drove peak electricity consumption to 59 GWh this July as demand for cooling surged.
Come back on Thursday to see how cooling needs are fueling demand and how 🇹🇷’s grid can meet it 👀

Heat pumps are vastly more efficient than gas heating systems.
With the right policies they can also be significantly cheaper from a total cost of ownership perspective.

🇹🇷 While Türkiye accelerates its solar capacity, its deployment of wind power has been slower in the recent years 🌪️
In 2024, total wind capacity stood at 12.5 GW - short of Türkiye’s 13.3 GW target

Rooftop, hybrid, and floating solar power plants can sustain Türkiye’s solar energy momentum 📈
With 33GW of solar & wind storage capacity in the pipeline, Türkiye is well-positioned to enhance renewable energy integration into the grid. ⚡

Scientists developed the first climate models in the late 1960s (for which the Nobel Prize in physics was recently awarded!).
How have these models held up against what happened in the real world after they were published? Surprisingly well, it turns out:
