Turkey aims to utilize its energy potential, including renewable
sources in a cost-effective manner. Today, Turkey targets the share
of renewable resources in electricity generation to be at least 30
% by 2023. To meet this, current incentive mechanism for renewables
relies on feed-in tariff mainly in solar and wind power. Numbers of
renewable energy projects have been increasing since 2010 in
Turkey. After energy revolution in 2010, remarkable deals have been
substantiated in the last years. There have been several projects
pending before administrative authorities to be approved. However,
numbers of the projects are still not at the desired level.
Notwithstanding, renewable power is the main target that will
save Turkey from its energy import dependence. There are many
options for investors planning to generate electricity from
renewable energy sources so that the first step is to find a proper
land for renewable energy projects.
