Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar announced that Türkiye aims to commission the first unit of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant by the end of the year. Speaking at the 31st Baku Energy Forum in Azerbaijan, Bayraktar outlined the nation’s comprehensive strategy to bolster energy security, reduce import reliance, and actively combat climate change. He highlighted that renewable sources, particularly solar, will soon dominate the country’s electricity generation, even as domestic natural gas production from the Black Sea continues to steadily expand. Emphasizing the strategic partnership between Türkiye and Azerbaijan, the minister reinforced their joint commitment to enhancing Europe’s energy security and developing new green energy corridors. These ambitious infrastructure projects mark a historic turning point in Türkiye’s pursuit of a resilient, sustainable, and net-zero energy future.
