Description
Turkey is highly dependent on external energy sources. According to Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR) data, Turkey's dependency rose from 51.9% in 1990 to 75% in 2007, and reached 72.8% in 2008. The State Institute of Statistics reveals that Turkey's import figures for energy related raw materials (i.e. crude petroleum, petroleum products, natural gas and coal) which climbed to $48,252 billion USD in 2008, comprised nearly one fourth of total imports that same year. The burden decreased in 2009 due to a decline in petroleum and gas prices. Still in 2009, Turkey paid $29,870 billion USD for imports of raw energy materials, and their share in total imports was 21.2 percent. Turkey's dependency in electricity production is also high. MENR figures reveal that imported natural gas has a 48.2% share in power generation; when imported coal and petroleum products are also added, Turkey's energy dependency rises to 58.60 percent.
