Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Turkey 2005
… Following a summary of the conclusions and recommendations, the report surveys the general energy scene and energy policy in Turkey, looks at energy and the environment, reviews efforts to enhance energy efficiency, and then examines developments related to oil, natural gas, coal, renewable energy, and electricity. The book closes with a look at Turkey's R&D efforts related to energy.
The book finds that Turkey has undertaken significant reforms to open energy markets, but needs to undertake further actions to see the process to a successful conclusion. Turkey has been very active in international co-operation and has become… -

…generation. The commissioning of Turkey’s first nuclear power facility in 2023 will further diversify the country’s fuel mix.
Notwithstanding many the positive changes Turkey has made toward liberalising its energy markets and diversifying its energy sources, the government should ensure that policies in place to bolster energy security – including growth in coal-fired generation and support for various forms of electricity generation – do not impede the economic efficiency of markets and the country’s longer-term decarbonisation efforts.
In this report, the IEA provides energy policy recommendations to help Turkey smoothly manage the evolution of its energy sector…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Turkey 2001
…to allow competition in the electricity market and to adapt Turkey’s legislation for European Union membership. A new Gas Market Law was adopted in May 2001, despite the macro-economic turmoil that Turkey has experienced since late 2000. These reforms must now be implemented.
Turkey’s carbon emissions are growing rapidly. They will grow even faster if coal use quadrupled by 2020, as the government expects. Air pollution is also a significant problem. Turkey has not signed the United Nations’ Climate Convention. But the government aims to comply with the general provisions of the Convention and to exploit the… -
Oil Market Report - May 2017
The IEA Oil Market Report (OMR) is one of the world’s most authoritative and timely sources of data, forecasts and analysis on the global oil market – including detailed statistics and commentary on oil supply, demand, inventories, prices and refining activity, as well as oil trade for IEA and selected non-IEA countries. Highlights Weakness in a number of previously solid countries - India, US, Germany and Turkey - curtailed the 1H17 global demand growth estimate by 115 kb/d. Global demand growth is, however, still forecast at 1.3 mb/d in 2017, with demand at 97.9 mb/d.Global oil supply fell by…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Turkey 2009 Review
Energy Policy Review Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Turkey 2009 This review analyses the broad range of energy challenges facing Turkey and provides critiques and recommendations for further policy improvements. Turkey will likely see the fastest medium- to long-term growth in energy demand among the IEA member countries. It has a young and urbanising population and energy use is still comparatively low. Therefore, ensuring sufficient energy supply to a growing economy remains the government’s main energy policy concern. Turkey has also progressed significantly in all other areas of energy policy over the past few years. Large investments in…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Turkey 2016 Review
Since the last IEA review of Turkey’s energy policies, the country’s reliance on natural gas use has grown along with rising oil and gas imports, leaving the Turkish economy increasingly exposed to the volatility in oil and gas prices. Turkey aims to promote sustainable economic growth. The IEA urges the government to set a longer-term energy policy agenda for 2030. However, owing to declining global liquefied natural gas prices, Turkey now has an opportunity to reduce its single supplier dependence, build a competitive gas market, and move ahead with its plans to create a regional gas hub…

Fuel economy in Turkey
Market profile and analysis of fuel consumption trends Light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales have been declining in recent years in Turkey, with 4.7 million sold in 2019, down from 9.7 million in 2016. The average fuel consumption of new LDVs reached 5.5 of gasoline equivalent per 100 kilometres (Lge/100 km) in 2019, down from 8.2 Lge/100 km in 2005. This reflects a 2.8% annual average decrease in fuel consumption between 2005 and 2019. Notably, fuel consumption had been decreasing at average rate of 3.4% per year between 2005 and 2017, until a…

Türkiye Climate Resilience Policy Indicator
Country summary Türkiye’s average temperature has been climbing since 1994 and is likely to continue to rise, boosting energy demand for cooling in upcoming decades. This will put additional pressure on Türkiye’s energy system, as economic growth has already caused electricity demand to escalate rapidly.Although total annual precipitation across the country has neither increased nor decreased significantly, greater regional and seasonal disparities are projected. The incidence of extreme precipitation patterns involving droughts and heavy rainfall with flash floods is expected to increase.Türkiye has established a complete set of climate change strategies, including a National Climate Change…
