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: Wait, no, I think the mobile one is React Native or something? But same principle.
gollark: It's an Electron app, they probably cannot introduce actual problematic bugs like remote code execution.
gollark: I'm running an outdated Discord app to avoid the bad fonts so no.
gollark: Not only are they steganographically embedding identifying data in documents you print, or running out of ink or printing wrong at inconvenient times or requiring DRMed ink cartridges, but the drivers are moderately bad.
