WASHINGTON, August 4, 2025 —The World Bank has approved today a package of financing for the Türkiye - Transforming Power Transmission System Project (TPTS), including a EUR 625 million (US$ 707.9 million equivalent) loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), a EUR 32.798 million (US$ 38 million equivalent) loan from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF), and a US$ 2 million CTF grant.Will Türkiye's battery and storage power plants be approved next year?However, Usta noted that despite draft regulations, the legal framework for battery and storage power plants is still evolving. The first approvals are expected next year. Türkiye’s battery imports remained steady at around $1.1 billion, similar to last year.
Why is Türkiye a key player in energy storage?As global investments in energy storage systems continue to grow, Türkiye has positioned itself as a key player, with two cell production facilities and nearly 100 lithium-ion battery production factories of various scales actively operating across the country.
What is the target for battery storage in Türkiye?The target for battery storage is 7.5 GW. With these and other clean energy measures, the government is boosting energy security as an integral part of efforts to decarbonize Türkiye’s economy by 2053. The program is innovative for its use of country systems and for building a platform to diversify private financing.
