Türkiye Introduces A New Framework For Unlicensed Renewables After YEKDEM

With the enactment of Presidential Decision No. 11415, dated 12 June 2026, a framework has been introduced governing the pricing and sale of surplus electricity generated by unlicensed power plants operating under the Electricity Market Law No. 6446 after the expiration of their ten-year participation period in the Renewable Energy Resources Support Mechanism (“YEKDEM”).

The Decision is particularly significant as it addresses several uncertainties that have emerged in practice regarding the post-support period for the growing number of unlicensed renewable energy facilities in recent years. It provides greater clarity on both the conditions under which surplus electricity may be sold and the pricing mechanism that will apply to such sales.
