I congratulate the editors for the large amount of work that has already gone into this article. This is a difficult topic to cover. However, as I have set out below, I do not consider that this article currently meets the GA criteria for prose and coverage.
The article contains many sections that are densely written - an assembly of short statements (typically statements of fact) with citations. The densely written content of these sections can be difficult to follow because of the lack of context or explanation of the facts presented, and lack of linkages between different ideas. Some examples of sections with this characteristic include: Trade, Transmission, Distribution, Policy and Regulation. Overall, it is too difficult for the reader to get a clear understanding. Most of these sections need expansion and re-writing for clarity so that the reader can understand the content. In addition, some of the factual statements presented are now out of date.
The longer sections are somewhat difficult to read because they lack sub-headings that would classify the individual topics within the section. A good example is Generation - although the topic appears to require expanding as well (see below).
The section: "Health, safety and resilience" brings together topics that are not a natural fit, and this is confusing for the reader. The topic of air pollution from coal fired plants could potentially be better covered as "Environmental impacts" as a subheading under Generation-coal.
The topic of "resilience" is covered briefly in the section "Health, safety and resilience", but it is not clear. Power system security is a large topic and would probably require an article on its own to make it broadly understandable. If government energy policy is seeking a move towards increased resilience at a local level, some content about this topic could be covered to some extent under Energy policy. If there have already been significant microgrids installed that have capability for islanded operation, this is potentially a sub-topic under Consumption, or Demand forecasting.
The section: "Future" is hard to follow because it presents too many facts without adequate linkage. It would probably be better to split the content and move it all back into sections on Energy Policy, Generation etc, so that those sections have some forward-looking content.
Content in some sections does not clearly fit with the heading. For example, the last paragraph in Consumption contains the sentence: "A group of four academics has suggested that the target of 32% from renewables by 2030 should be increased to at least 50%." This appears to be about Government policy, not consumption. In another example, the last paragraph of Transmission includes mention of solar power and pumped storage, but without clearly explaining how this is relevant to transmission.
While the article covers many of the topics that would be expected, some important matters are given insufficient or no coverage. The topic of decarbonisation of the electricity energy supply comes up in several places in the article, but is not clearly explained from a government policy perspective. It would be easier for the reader to understand the "story" underpinning much of this article, if a section on Energy policy was placed towards the top of the article, and expanded to provide an outline of the long term energy planning stance.

Following directly from the point above, the topic of Generation is of great importance to this article, but there is insufficient content about the generation sector as a whole, given its importance. A reasonable expectation would be at least a paragraph or two about each of the main sources of generation. The content about solar generation development is useful, and worthy of a subsection, but is currently out of balance with the rest of the section. It would help to move the graphic about generation by source to be alongside the Generation section. It would be best to avoid vague statements such as: "The state-owned Electricity Generation Company (EÜAŞ) has about 20% of the market,[66] and there are many private companies".
In another example, while there is a section on Policy and Regulation, there is no content about the structure of regulation (for example, what are the names and roles of the main regulatory authorities).
The section on Consumption contains some content about electric vehicle chargers, and electric vehicles. The topic of the electrification of transport is highly relevant for this article, but there is little development of content on this topic at present. It also probably fits better with Energy policy and planning and/or Demand forecasting.
The section on Transmission has no basic content about the transmission network - eg approximate system length, transmission voltages in use, number of transmission grid substations.
The section on Trade has no significant content about the wholesale electricity market, or any mention of the participants, the regulatory code or participation agreement that sets out the operating rules of the market, or the organisational roles (such as physical operation, clearing and reconciliation, settlement etc). Import/export is covered under Trade, but for clarity should probably be separate, or in a sub-heading.
There is no content about how retailing of electricity is conducted or retail pricing structured. For instance, is the distribution lines service provider also a monopoly electrical energy provider in their operating region, or is there retail competition (ie wires and energy unbundled), with a variety of energy traders operating over the transmission and distribution networks ?
At this stage, I will put further review on hold pending feedback, and will follow up in around 7 days.

The GA review process has been underway for 9 days. During that time, the nominator has made significant improvements to coverage of multiple topics including: Trade, Transmission, Distribution, Retailing. However, at this point, substantial issues remain, related to coverage and prose, but there are also some relatively minor issues with selection of images.
One significant issue for this GA review is the need for summary content where there is a "main" article linked. Here are some references, benchmarks and comments on this topic.
There is useful guidance about summary-style articles at WP:SUMMARY. It is also covered in WP:BETTER. The guidance indicates that the parent article should contain a section with a summary of the child article (as well as the link), and that there may be close similarity between the summary in the parent article and the lead in the sub-topic or child article. The criteria for Good Articles at WP:GA? does not cover summary style specifically, but the general assessment quality scale at Wikipedia:WikiProject Business/Assessment lists the article Discovery of the neutron as a GA quality benchmark. This article shows the provision of significant summary content where there is a parent-child relationship with other articles. Another useful benchmark from the electricity sector is a GA-class article Hydro-Québec's electricity transmission system that also shows the provision of summary content where there is a parent-child article relationship.
The current status of this article under review is that most instances of parent-child relationships do not include summary content. This particularly affects the Generation section and its sub-headings. The consequences are that the reader learns little about the generation sub-topic from the article as it stands. These generation types are highly important topics for this article, with profound implications for the electricity sector in Turkey. These topics require coverage at a summary level. Examples that require a summary of the sub-topic include the section: Hydro (where there is no content about installed capacity or overall significance and issues of hydro-electric generation, although there is content on these topics in the child article). The section about Gas does not have a summary of content about the gas-generation sector, such as installed capacity, issues, or explain whether the gas fuel is imported or domestically sourced. Note: It may also be appropriate to include in this summary, a mention of the recent find of gas in the Black Sea. [1] Another example without a summary is the section: Nuclear (where the existing content does not mention that the first nuclear generating facility in Turkey is to be commissioned in 2023).
The GA review process is to grade the quality of a single nominated article, not an interconnected web of related articles. Without summary content where a parent-child article link is provided, there is insufficient coverage in the parent article as it stands to meet the GA review criteria- Broad in its coverage, (provided that the sub-topic is clearly important to the subject of the article - and this is definitely the case for the generation sub-topics).
The article currently has multiple sections that are hard to follow because they are densely-written with little or no linkages of ideas between short factual statements in a single paragraph.
One particular example is the section: "Future". This section is hard to follow because it presents too many facts without adequate linkage. A suggestion for this section is to split the content and move it all back and merge it into sections on Energy Policy, Generation etc, so that those sections have some forward-looking content.
Another example is: "Economics and Finance". This is hard to follow because it covers a multitude of topics with minimal linkage of ideas. Some of the content appears to duplicate other sections. Again, this section may benefit from having all or most of the content relocated and merged into relevant sections elsewhere.
There is duplication between section 2:Policy, and section 11 Policy and regulation. These two sections should be revised and merged.
Overall, there is a need for review and improvement of readability throughout.
There would be benefit in reviewing the selection of images. GA review criteria requires that they are relevant. Guidance for relevance of images is given here: MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE. The key requirement is: "Images must be significant and relevant in the topic's context, not primarily decorative". The historic images in the article at present would be of relevance to an article specifically about the history of the electricity sector in Turkey, but are of marginal relevance for this article. Additional images would be worthwhile. The only power station image in the article at present is for a solar tower station. There are no images of other generation plants, or images relating to transmission, distribution or end use. The image of the driverless vehicle seems far more relevant to transport than to electricity.
At this stage, there are several options for next steps:
