5.4. Energy Consumption by Sector

In 2022, Türkiye’s primary energy demand was realized as 257,770 thousand TOE. For 2022, the
distribution of Türkiye’s energy consumption by sectors is given in Chart 2. When the chart is
analyzed, 24% was used in cycle and energy, 24% in industry, 19% in transport, 17% in housing, 8%
in trade and services, 3% in agriculture and animal husbandry, 4% in non-energy consumption
sectors.

The ratio of meeting Türkiye’s primary energy demand with domestic production was 32.2% in
2022. In other words, Türkiye’s dependence on foreign energy is 67.8 per cent.

5.5 Energy Efficiency Studies

The main framework of energy efficiency studies in Türkiye was drawn with the Energy Efficien-
cy Law No. 5627, which entered into force in 2007. With the Energy Efficiency Strategy Docu-
ment (2012-2023) published in 2012, Türkiye’s energy intensity (energy consumed per national
income) is targeted to be reduced by at least 20% (compared to 2011) by 2023. For 2023, the
National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (2017-2023), Türkiye’s first energy efficiency action plan,
was prepared as a roadmap for the work to be carried out in Türkiye and put into effect on 2
January 2018.
It is envisaged that a total of USD 10.9 billion will be invested in energy efficiency until 2023 for
the realisation of 55 actions in 6 sectors (building, industry, transport, energy, agriculture and
horizontal issues) in the Action Plan, and with the realisation of these investments, a cumulative
energy saving of 23.9 million tonnes of oil equivalent (MTEP) and greenhouse gas emission
reduction of 66.6 million CO equivalent will be achieved. With the studies carried out within
2
the scope of the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) between 2017-2023, it was
determined that a total of 8.47 billion USD was invested in energy efficiency in Türkiye, and 24
million 625 thousand TEP energy savings and 68.62 million tonnes of CO equivalent emission
2
reduction were achieved in return for this investment. In addition, approximately 45 thousand
new green jobs have been created in the sector.
