Türkiye Climate Resilience Policy Indicator
…of the country (except the Black Sea region) to experience summer water shortages.Although lower total precipitation is predicted overall, particularly after 2041, seasonal and regional disparities will likely persist until the end of this century. Summer precipitation for 2071-2099 is projected to be up to 40% lower than during 1971-2000, while the amount of winter precipitation could increase in much of the country. While a significant decrease in precipitation is expected for southern Türkiye, a slight increase is projected for northern areas such as the Black Sea region. Climate projections also indicate an increase in drought fr...

Turkey 2021
Energy Policy Review The International Energy Agency (IEA) regularly conducts in-depth peer reviews of the energy policies of its member countries. This process supports energy policy development and encourages the exchange of international best practices and experiences.
The guiding principles of Turkish energy policy continue to be market reform and energy security. Rapid economic and population growth in the past two decades have not only driven strong growth in energy demand but also an associated increase in import dependency.
Turkey has prioritised security of energy supply as one of the central pillars of its energy strategy, including efforts to…

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…

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 Policy Review Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Turkey 2001 The International Energy Agency's 2002 review of Turkey's energy policies and programmes. This edition finds that Turkey aspires to link the oil- and gas-rich Caspian area to Western markets. Several pipelines through Turkey are nearing completion. The projects could enhance diversity and security of supply in consuming countries. They could also relieve the environmental strain of heavy ship traffic through the Bosporus.
Numerous attempts have been made to open Turkey’s energy markets to competition and to ensure that energy supply grows in step with population and… -

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…

Technology Roadmap - China Wind Energy Development Roadmap 2050
Roadmap Technology Roadmap - China Wind Energy Development Roadmap 2050 Developed by the Energy Resource Institute of China’s National Reform and Development Commission (ERI-NDRC), the China Wind Energy Roadmap is the first national roadmap that has been developed by a country with IEA support, drawing from its global roadmap series. The report shows how the People's Republic of China, already the world’s largest wind market, could reach 1 000 gigawatts of wind power by the middle of the century, an achievement that would reduce CO2 emissions by 1.5 gigatonnes per year, or roughly equivalent to the…

Integrating Distributed Energy Resources in China
Lessons from international experience Like no other country in the world, the People’s Republic of China (hereafter, “China”) is witnessing rapid growth in distributed energy resources (DERs), including rooftop solar photovoltaics, battery storage and electric vehicle (EV) chargers. As China advances towards its carbon peaking and neutrality goals, these resources offer a unique opportunity to support a more flexible, efficient and resilient power system, provided their integration is well-managed.This report analyses recent trends in DER deployment across China and highlights the emerging challenges their growth poses for power system planning and operation, calling for renewed attention to…
