Today,
the biggest problem that concerns the whole world is the production of healthy
and reliable energy. Fossil fuels are the most widely used energy sources. The
use of fossil resources causes the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere and, as a result, climate change. Global warming caused by climate
change is causing great harm to our world. In order to minimize this damage, it
is necessary to minimize the use of fossil fuels in energy production and to
replace them with renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, geothermal, hydraulic,
biomass, biogas, wave, current and tidal renewables are non-fossil energy
sources. Turkey is in a very rich geographical position in terms of renewable
energy sources.  In this study, using of
renewable energy sources in Turkey were investigated. Turkey's installed capacity of renewable energy
when the data are analyzed; with the largest share of hydroelectric energy at
26681.1 MW followed by 5751.3 MW of wind energy, 832.5 MW of solar energy,
820.9 MW of geothermal energy and finally 488.7 MW of biomass energy.
