Regulatory Framework

The Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) is responsible for regulating the energy market in Turkey.

The legal framework for the energy sector in Turkey is governed by the Electricity Market Law, the Natural Gas Market Law, and the Petroleum Market Law.

Renewable Energy

Turkey is making significant strides in the development of renewable energy sources. The Renewable Energy Law of 2005 provides a framework for the development of renewable energy, including wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal energy. The government has set a target to generate 30% of the country’s electricity from renewable sources by 2023.

Electricity Market

The Turkish electricity market is regulated by the Electricity Market Law of 2001. The law establishes the rules for the operation of the electricity market and outlines the responsibilities of market participants, including producers, distributors, and consumers. The market operates under a pool system, which means that producers sell their electricity to the market operator at a regulated price, and the operator sells the electricity to distributors and consumers.

Natural Gas Market

The Natural Gas Market Law of 2001 regulates the natural gas market in Turkey. The law establishes the rules for the distribution and sale of natural gas and outlines the responsibilities of market participants, including importers, distributors, and consumers. The law also encourages competition in the market and promotes the use of natural gas as a clean energy source.

Conclusion

Energy law in Turkey is a complex and ever-evolving field, with regulations and developments shaping the energy sector’s future.
