Electricity Generation In Turkey Series II: Unlicensed Electricity Generation

Pursuant to the Regulation on Unlicensed Electricity Production in Electricity Markets ["Regulation"] [available in Turkish only], it is possible to generate electricity without being obliged to obtain a license / pre-license from the Energy Market Regulatory Authority ["EMRA"] or incorporate a company. Accordingly, the consumers can meet their electricity needs from their own generation facilities that are in the vicinity of the consumption points and sell the surplus electricity limited to the previous year's consumption.

These regulations aim to utilize small-scale generation facilities to ensure the security of national economy and supply and thus reduce the amount of loss in the electricity grid by ensuring the efficient use of small-scale generation resources by enabling consumers to meet their electricity needs from their own generation facilities closest to the consumption point.
