Energy Policy in Turkey

Turkey's energy demand has increased over the years and Turkey's importance in world energy market has been growing both as a regional energy transit hub and as a consumer. Turkey is dependent on natural gas imports due to rise of domestic consumption each year. Because Turkey aims to decrease in dependence on foreign sources, renewable energy projects have been highly attractive for several years.

Today, Turkey has a high renewable energy resources (RES) potential. In the recent years, despite the increase in number of renewable energy projects, it has not reached to the expected number yet. Turkey has highly wind, solar, geothermal energy potential. In addition, Turkey has also highly biogas potential.
