Strengthening Türkiye’s Energy Sovereignty: The $65 Billion Nuclear Imperative

Türkiye is repositioning its energy strategy to mitigate a USD 65.59 billion annual import dependency by establishing a robust domestic nuclear baseload. With electricity demand projected to surge by 113 TWh by 2030, the National Energy Plan outlines a clear trajectory toward 20 GW of nuclear capacity by 2050. This shift is a commercial necessity to ensure grid stability and protect industrial competitiveness under the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
