Although Turkey has a wide range of energy resources such as coal, natural gas, petroleum and the like, they are limited. Therefore, Turkey has started to investigate the alternative energy resources. As a consequence, the investigation of wind energy has been carried out rapidly in Turkey over the last two decades. There are many investigations in the literature about Turkey’s wind characteristics that are mainly focused on regions which are highly suitable for wind energy applications. There are also some investigations about the wind energy policy and strategy is- sue in Turkey. But there are no any studies on tax exemption assessment of Turkey on renewable energy. This provided prima motivation behind doing the present study. Related scientific and industrial communities may be attracted by this investigation.

Dawood Abstract— Energy is the most important part of life, it is essential for social and economic development. Turkey is importing more than half of the energy from other countries to produce electricity by thermal plants. Air pollution is also becoming quite a big problem for Turkey due to the thermal production of the energy.

  • An Overview of Turkey's Offshore Wind Energy Potential Evaluations INTRODUCTION TURKEY's INSTALLED ELECTRIC POWER PLANT CAPA
    Turkish Journal of Scientific Reviews 9 (2): 55-58, 2016 ISSN: 1308-0040, E-ISSN: 2146-0132, www.nobel.gen.tr An Overview of Turkey’s Offshore Wind Energy Potential Evaluations Akın ILHAN1* Mehmet BILGILI2 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Engineering and Architecture Faculty, Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey 2Department of Mechanical Engineering, Ceyhan Engineering Faculty, Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey *Corresponding Author: Received: August 10, 2016 E-mail:[email protected] Accepted: November 15, 2016 Abstract This paper deals the existing condition of wind energy in Turkey and mainly focuses on the development of the offshore wind power. Wind energy potential and its feasibility in terms of techno-economic aspect, industrial progress and environmental concerns are studied. By 2015, the total installed offshore wind power capacity of the World has reached 12 GW of capacity. Unfortunately, this is not the case in Turkey because sufficient concerns are not given to the offshore technology and investments, although high potential of wind power density is available on the shores of Turkey. Annual and cumulative comparisons of wind energy throughout the years are also discussed in the context of this study. Territorial distribution of wind energy installations of Turkey is demonstrated that indicated offshore installations of wind power plants are also appropriate for power generation. Comparisons of wind energy potential of Turkey with Europe indicate that Turkey has more wind power potential both on land and sea; however, presently, installed wind power is less with respect to European countries. Potential of wind energy for Turkey was estimated to be 48,000 MW approximately, but current installed power capacity is only 4,718 MW until 2015.

Modern energy services can be considered as renewable energy technologies (RETs) which are sustainable and abundant in the country. However considering the total cost of RET production, renewable energy sources can be used not to replace the fossil fuels, but to supply energy requirement in rural areas, in order to decrease the imported energy resources that place a big burden on the economy. In this study, the renewable energy resources in Turkey were comparatively expressed, regards to the potential and current use. This paper was aimed to provide an overview of worldwide examples and projects for the use of renewable energy technologies that can also be applied in Turkey, which has a proportion of rural population, to increase the access to modern energy services in rural areas in the country.

    International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy Vol. 3, No. 2, 2013, pp.153-167 ISSN: 2146-4553 www.econjournals.com Renewable Energy: Policy Issues and Economic Implications in Turkey Gülden Bölük Department of Economics, Akdeniz University, 07058, Antalya, Turkey. Tel:+902423106407 Email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Current energy policy of Turkey is to increase the renewable energy share in total energy and to maximize benefit from existing potential until next 15 years. It was planed that the share of renewable energy resources in electricity production would be at least 30% by 2023 and government ensured some incentives such as feed-in tariff, investment incentives etc. for renewable energy. Moreover Turkish Energy Regulatory Agency (EMRA) announced that biofuel blending would be mandatory starting from 2013 and 2014 for bioethanol (2%) and biodiesel (1%), respectively. This study examines the current situation and potential of renewable resources and evaluates the impacts of renewable energy policy both on the energy sector and whole national economy. Renewable energy targets can generate around 275-545 thousand direct jobs possibilities in energy sector and 7.9 thousand tones natural gas and 464 thousand cubic meters fossil fuel saving by 2023. Net trade impact of renewable energy targets will be aggravated due to mandatory biodiesel blending since Turkey has oilseed deficit. In Turkey, utilization of all type of resources will contribute to economy but most feasible and sustainable renewable energy is biomass. Between the other renewables, biomass would provide highest social well-being in the country. Keywords: Turkey; renewable energy policy; sustainable development JEL Classifications: Q16; Q20; Q42 1.
