Türkiye’s energy ministry reported on August 21, 2026 that Sakarya had produced 6.7 billion cubic metres of gas since 2023. Daily output stood at 9.5 million cubic metres according to the announcement.
The ministry targeted 20 million cubic metres per day through the second development phase. That was a forward target in the August statement, rather than achieved production on that date. The initial Black Sea discovery was announced on August 21, 2020.
In an IEA scenario, electricity could cost-effectively supply 33 percent of final energy use by 2035; projected import savings are not realized outcomes.
The utility’s long-term plan projects lower emissions despite rising electricity demand; its solar, battery and reverse-osmosis targets are not completed outcomes.
