Abstract:

 


As
an energy dependent country, Turkey is supplying almost all of its energy
demand with imports, but it can significantly reduce its energy dependency
exploiting its indigenous energy resources as much as possible. Turkey has
started to notice and utilize its resources after 2005 with a serious
contribution of the renewable energy law. In this study, renewable energy
potential of Turkey is presented first. After that, renewable energy targets of
Turkey in 2023 are mentioned. Following them, the development of renewable
energy utilization in Turkey between 2005 and 2017 is given in detail, and
discussed. According to the analysis results obtained regarding the 12
year-renewable energy development process of Turkey, it can be concluded that
Turkey is in a good state regarding renewable energy shares in installed power
capacity and power generation with the percentages 11% and 8%, respectively. However,
it is still far away from its 2023 targets to be expected as 30% for power
generation.
