Actually I found a little bit more about Solar in Turkey.
Part of the 1GigaWatt GES-1 Tender was local PV production and the winner Kalyon Group has established a Factory in Ankara that has Capacity of 500MW per Year.
Its pretty impressive tbh. They partnered with the Chines after Koreans left. Personnel is actually trained in China.

With 100,000 square meters of indoor space, Kalyon Solar Technologies Factory adds value to the life and power to the economy as one of the most significant hi-tech industrial premises of our country. This matchless factory was established with the target to produce fully domestic solar panels and it employs 1,400 people. It also stands out as the world’s first and only plant that brings all four stages of solar panel production - the first application in Turkey - under a single roof.
3.5 million solar panels to be produced in this factory that has the capacity to produce 500 MW solar panels will be used in Karapınar Solar Power Plant. After that, the factory will provide domestic solutions to other power plant projects in Turkey while it will also focus on exports with new technologies it will develop.
Karapınar Solar Power Plant which is targeted to be completed within 2.5 years will raise Turkey’s solar power capacity from about 7,000 MW to 8,000 MW. When completed, the factory and the plant will ensure a currency substitution of 345 million dollars per annum.

Wholeheartedly agree with you my friend
Without nuclear energy we can't reach our goal and produce clean energy.
Recent experiences on disaster management have shown why people do not want a nuclear energy in this country.Wholeheartedly agree with you my friend
Sadly I dont think it will continue
In 2011, CHP leader clearly stated he dont want Nuclear technology in his country
Turkey is under extreme political pressure from the EU; led by France and Greece to immediately halt the program
EU in 2019, in respond to greece's concern, did put a list of hurtful sanctions against Turkey if it did complete its nuclear program; on the pretext that the technology was obtained from "russia". When they dont know what excuse to make...... loool
It is also fun to note that 70% of France's need of energy comes fron Nuclear power yet they dont want Turkey to have such technology.....lol
The new generations of nuclear planets provide incredible safety standersRecent experiences on disaster management have shown why people do not want a nuclear energy in this country.
I am big fan of nuclear energy and i do believe it cuts off the coal plants remarkably. But yeah, we know how human life is valued in these lands. Which reminds of;
Soma,
Recent fires,
Floods,
Avalanche took place because of being careless, last year and claimed lives of soldiers,
Factories dumping their waste in rivers and ignoring state's law.
I doubt they will pause this project, first plant will complete in 2023, make no sense to halt this project. Nuclear plants are become safer than before.Wholeheartedly agree with you my friend

Especially with thorium nuclear reactors which Turkey is rich inThe new generations of nuclear planets provide incredible safety standers
We don't have an energy deficit. In fact, we are producing more than our consumption.It would be fantastic if we could develop Thorium reactors in the next five years. India is working hard towards it and we are in the same situation as India with respect to energy deficit. If we could do it we could stop after the first plant or the second in having Uranium reactors. Thorium reactors would also be suitable for exports and mobile deployment.
We are importing natural gas and petrol to Turkey.We don't have an energy deficit. In fact, we are producing more than our consumption.
Figes and Tubitak are working on molten salt thorium reactors but don't expect anything before 2030.

Figes Mühendislik and ATO mark their name guys. They're developing a NG Thorium Power Plant you can find the details on web
A prototype doesn't mean we will start producing power immediately. There is a huge work between developing a prototype and building an actual powerplant.We are importing natural gas and petrol to Turkey.
They are expecting to make a 25MW Thorium molten salt reactor prototype by 2025, this was revealed several months ago.
Just pray that the nuclear power plant project continues in the futureAkkuyu Nuclear power plant and Blacksea gas will lower that percentage even more.
