History
There was a nationwide blackout in 2015.
Operations
According to a study by Sabancı University 20% of Turkey's electricity could be generated from wind and solar by 2026 with no extra transmission costs, and 30% with a minor increase in grid investment.[1]
Subsidies
TEİAŞ distributes extra payments to some power stations in Turkey: some hydro is supported, but this "capacity mechanism" has been criticised as wasting money on too much capacity[2] by supporting some coal fired power stations in Turkey.

gollark: Oh, I see. My cognition is offloaded to apioforms with infinite energy tetrahedra. So it works.
gollark: I don't understand.
