Abstract. The article examines the current state of the power complexes of the Turkic World Countries (TWC), including the total reserves of existing energy carriers and their per capita consumption, the generation capacity of various types of power plants, and electricity production. Here, the economic indicators of the TWC’s energy complexes are analyzed, and their share indicators among the world’s countries are calculated. The article also discusses the impact of local natural resources in these countries on the development of energy complexes and the issues of expanding the use of renewable energy sources (RES), as well as the similarities and differences between the Turkic States. In writing the article, relevant literature samples on energy and statistical materials of relevant agencies were used, as well as schemes and diagrams.
