Overview
Türkiye's electricity access stood at 100.00% in 2025, a rise of +0.00pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.00% by 2025. Türkiye ranked 128th globally.
Turkey’s electricity access has risen steadily over the 25‑year span from 99.90 % in 2000 to a full 100.00 % in 2025, placing it at rank 128 globally and tying with peers such as Tunisia, Ukraine, Thailand and the United States, all of which report universal coverage. The all‑time peak of 100.00 % was reached in 2025, while the lowest point occurred in 2009 at 99.70 %, indicating only modest fluctuations despite rapid expansion of the national grid and investment in renewable generation. The near‑perfect coverage reflects extensive rural electrification programs and regulatory reforms that have eliminated most remaining gaps. Continued advances in smart‑grid technology and the integration of distributed solar and wind resources are likely to sustain Turkey’s universal access, although any significant policy shifts or supply‑side constraints could alter the trajectory.
