Summary
The case study on Turkey covers strategies and policies to support the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency as drivers for local employment and value creation. In terms of renewable energies, the study covers both their use as a source of power (particularly wind, solar PV and geothermal sources) as well as for heating (particularly solar thermal and geothermal sources).1 The review of energy efficiency policies focuses on buildings and, to a lesser degree, on industry.
The natural conditions for RE are good and industry considers Turkey a market with a strong growth potential, even by global comparison – especially once some remaining obstacles have been overcome and the large number of RE installations, which are awaiting approval, can actually be constructed and grid-connected.
