Abstract:

 In recent years, economic growth, urbanization, and renewable energy consumption have become increasingly important in achieving sustainable development goals. The impact of these dynamics on environmental sustainability is drawing growing attention, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to examine the causality effects between economic growth, urbanization, renewable energy consumption, and load capacity factor in the Turkiye economy simultaneously. Using the data sets from the Turkiye economy between 1990 and 2020, the Toda-Yamamoto Causality Analysis was conducted to investigate the causality relationship between economic growth, urbanization, renewable energy consumption, and the load capacity factor. The findings from the causality analysis reveal a bidirectional causality between urbanization and the load capacity factor, as well as between renewable energy consumption and the load capacity factor. Additionally, no causality was detected from economic growth to the load capacity factor and from the load capacity factor to economic growth. This highlights the significance and role of urbanization and renewable energy consumption within these dynamics. The obtained findings offer important implications for policymakers and environmental management strategies.

 Son yıllarda ekonomik büyüme, kentleşme ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi, sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşmada büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu dinamiklerin çevresel sürdürülebilirlik üzerindeki etkileri, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde, giderek daha fazla dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye ekonomisinde ekonomik büyüme, kentleşme ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ile yük kapasitesi faktörü arasındaki nedensellik etkilerini bir arada incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada Türkiye ekonomisinde 1990-2020 yılları arasındaki veri setleri kullanılarak ekonomik büyüme, kentleşme ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ile yük kapasitesi faktörü arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisinin araştırılmasına yönelik Toda-Yamamoto Nedensellik Analizi yapılmıştır. Nedensellik ile yapılan analizden elde edilen bulgular, kentleşme ile yük kapasitesi faktörü arasında çift yönlü bir nedensellik, yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ile yük kapasitesi faktörü arasında çift yönlü bir nedensellik olduğunu göstermektedir. Bunun yanında ekonomik büyümeden yük kapasitesi faktörüne ve yük kapasitesi faktöründen ekonomik büyümeye doğru bir nedensellik tespit edilememiştir. Bu durum, kentleşme ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin bu dinamikler içindeki yerini ve önemini vurgulamaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular, politika yapıcılar ve çevre yönetimi stratejileri açısından önemli çıkarımlar sunmaktadır.
