1.2 TWhdata-centre electricity · 0.3% of national generation · grade B, Derived

Turkey's data centres draw 1.2 TWh of electricity a year, which places it 30th of the 33 countries this atlas carries a figure for.

That is 0.3% of everything the country generates — below the 1.2% median across those countries.

Set against 0.3 GW of installed capacity, that implies a 39% load factor.

One metro is tracked here: Istanbul, at 120 MW and under construction.

120 MW of that is not yet operating: it is under construction or still an announcement.

Its strongest showing anywhere in the atlas is Power & Grid on the physical basis, at #31 of 77.

It does not register at all on Silicon, Memory & Storage or Networking.

About $2bn of AI infrastructure investment has been announced for Turkey, though announced is not built — that figure is graded C.

Where Turkey ranks

The same tables read three ways. A country can lead one basis and be invisible on another, and that gap is the whole point of the atlas.
