Abstract: Abstract Energy is the most important factor that provided the economic and social development and facilitates human life. Electricity is not only a scarce resource but also a strategic issue for countries. There is electricity in every area of our life, from home to industrial. The importance of electricity is increasing day by day owing to a particularly rapid population growth and the development of the industry sector. In this study, sources of electricity production and consumption in Turkey will be explained in detail, and additionally, electricity import and export data will be analyzed. On the other hand, overall energy production and consumption issues will be discussed except the electricity in Turkey. Because, there is a relationship with energy cost, Turkey’s inflation, and current account deficit because the raw materials of energy inputs are based on imports. In addition, in this paper, it will be analyzed all Balkan Countries as electricity generation, consumption, total electricity installed capacity, total electricity imports and total electricity exports.
