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.

As summers get increasingly hotter due to climate change, cooling demand in Türkiye has surged 🌡️
74 out of 81 provinces experienced higher cooling needs, with the Aegean and Western Mediterranean regions seeing the biggest spikes.
This has driven new annual records in peak electricity demand.

During COP29, I had the chance to meet Fatih Birol, the head of the International Energy Agency, multiple times. I was delighted by his positive and sincere approach as well as our brief conversation. He was kind enough to speak at four different sessions at the Türkiye Pavilion.

#COP29 is far from achieving any meaningful transformation. My biggest observation here has been the resistance of countries expected to provide financing. Unfortunately, during my time in Azerbaijan, I did not witness any significant steps toward transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy.
