The world energy system is expected to undergo a substantial transformation from the current patterns of supply and demand to address the challenges of energy security and climate security. Technology is anticipated to be the main driver of this transformation. The electricity sector is subject to the most significant transformation due to the penetration of new technologies. In this study, the electricity sector of Turkey is modelled as a complex energy system of electricity generation, transmission, distribution and consumption. Model input data were compiled according to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) statistics framework for its member countries and is a disaggregated representation of the electricity network in terms of resources, operational modes and technologies of conversion systems, and consumption sectors. The relevant energy and exergy indicators are presented, analyses are performed, and results are discussed. The level of aggregation provided by these data and model makes the analysis novel and allows for tracking the transformative effect of energy policies, strategies and technologies in an electricity system by use of thermodynamic indicators. Since this sector level thermodynamic analysis is based on the standard IEA statistics framework, it can be replicated for all 28 member countries of the IEA.
