Turkey Power 2015

August 28, 2015

Currently standing as Europe’s sixth largest economy, Turkey and its demand for electricity have expanded rapidly in tandem with the country’s growth. Nearly doubling in the past 12 years, Turkish energy consumption increased from 132.6 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2002 to 255.5 TWh in 2014. Since 1990, consumption has grown by 4.6% per annum, a path that the industry looks set to continue on until 2023 through which point in time annualized growth of 5% to 6% is expected. In 2023, Turkey’s Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources predicts that total energy consumption could reach as high as 450 TWh.

MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide

It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
