What the numbers say
In 2025, Türkiye's electricity production from oil, gas and coal sources (% of total) rose 2.99 percentage points on 2024 (from 53.65% to 56.64%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.24 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 5.23 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 8.35 percentage points in 1999 and the biggest yearly fall was 11.49 percentage points in 2019. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is downward, about 1.51 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 61% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
The share of electricity production from oil, gas and coal sources of total electricity production. Sources of electricity refer to the inputs used to generate electricity. Oil refers to crude oil and petroleum products. Gas refers to natural gas but excludes natural gas liquids. Coal refers to all coal and brown coal, both primary (including hard coal and lignite-brown coal) and derived fuels (including patent fuel, coke oven coke, gas coke, coke oven gas, and blast furnace gas). Peat is also included in this category.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average using total electricity production as weights.
