This page shows the energy use for Turkey, using 1.05 percent of world gross inland consumption for 80.8 million inhabitants in 2018. Energy is typically specified in Million metric Ton of Oil Equivalent [Mtoe] for large quantities. This work prefers to use TeraWatt-hours (TWh) instead, which is obtained by multiplying the a value expressed in Mtoe with a factor 11.63 . To allow an easy comparison between countries, we normalize the TWh value to kiloWatt-hour per day (kWh/d/p) per person. Day to day energy production or consumption can fluctuate from a kWh/d/p value, for example space heating consumes more energy in the winter season.
These values are summarized in table 0.1 . The first two columns show the gross inland energy consumption and gross renewable and biofuel consumptions. We do so since some renewable and biofuel sources are converted to electricity for final energy consumption. The third column shows the total final energy consumption of Turkey. The fourth column shows the electricity consumption, which is a part of the final energy consumption.
The main data source for this page are the Eurostat energy balances, edition January 2020. A population plot of Turkey and a list of data source references are available below.Table 0.1 Energy summary for Turkey in 2017.
