Assessment of the turkey’s electric power policies in terms of sustainability
2014
This study, using statistical data published by the Turkish Electricity
Transmission Company, analyzes key parameters such as installed capacity and
energy demand growth rates, investment plans and emission rates, taking into
consideration the expected increase in use through the year 2023. The results
of the analyses were compared to relevant data from around the world. The
weight of domestic - and especially renewable - resources in investment plans
for the next 10 years was discussed. Recommendations for an investment plan
to support sustainable development in Turkey are listed. Consequently, the
lack of investment in domestic and renewable energy projects decreases the
competitive power of Turkey vis-a-vis Organisation for Economic Co-Operation
and Development countries in terms of many parameters. For a sustainable
development, the country must make significant changes in its
foreign-dependent energy production policies. Any future policies must
encourage supplying local resources to meet the continuously increasing
demand. Qualifications for incentive mechanisms applied to investments in
renewable energy should be developed. The impact of the private sector on the
installation of new plants must also be increased by quickly completing the
privatization process.
