How has Turkish energy consumption changed over time?

Turkey's energy consumption has increased significantly over the past few decades as the country has experienced rapid economic growth and modernization. In the 1980s, Turkey's primary energy consumption was around 25 million tons of oil equivalent (MTOE), and by 2018 it had increased to over 140 MTOE.

One of the major reasons for the increase in energy consumption is the growth of Turkey's population, which has more than doubled since the 1960s. In addition, the country's industrial sector has grown significantly, and as a result, energy-intensive industries like iron and steel production have become more prevalent.

Turkey's energy mix has also evolved over time. In the past, the country relied heavily on imported oil and natural gas, but in recent years there has been a push to develop domestic renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. In 2018, renewable energy accounted for 12% of Turkey's total electricity generation.
