Battery Storage And Infrastructure: The Next Leap In Türkiye's Energy Transition

1. A Turning Point in Global Energy Trends

According to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) latest data, renewable energy generation surpassed coal globally in the first half of 2025, marking a historic milestone in the fight against climate change. However, this achievement also exposes an underlying structural challenge: while renewable generation capacity is expanding rapidly, the infrastructure required to store, transmit, and balance this energy is not keeping pace.

Across markets, negative pricing and curtailment incidents are becoming increasingly common, particularly during periods of high solar or wind generation. These issues underline the urgent need for large-scale battery storage systems and modernized grid infrastructure to ensure flexibility and reliability in electricity supply.
