Country Analysis Brief ›

  • Turkey is becoming a major regional energy transit hub, with supplies from Russia, the Caspian Sea region and the Middle East transported via Turkey westward towards Europe.
  • Although Turkey is not a major oil producer, its role as an increasingly important oil transit country makes it vital to world oil markets, particularly Europe.
  • Turkey holds a strategic role in natural gas—between the world’s second largest natural gas market, continental Europe, and the substantial gas reserves of the Caspian Basin and the Middle East.
  • The majority of Turkey’s electricity comes from conventional thermal sources.
