Turkey's total planned and operational battery capacity compared to EU frontrunnersfactual

Turkey's pipeline of 32.8 GW is more than three times that of Germany (10.5 GW), Poland (10.4 GW) and Italy (10.2 GW).

According to Euronews
vs.

Turkey's total planned and operational capacity (12-13 GW) is similar to Germany and Italy (12-13 GW).

According to The Guardian - Main UK

Context: The discrepancy arises because Euronews reports only the pipeline (projects in construction, permitted, announced) while The Guardian reports total planned and operational capacity (including operational). This affects the reader's understanding of Turkey's relative standing: Turkey leads in pipeline but is comparable in total capacity including existing operational capacity.
