Biomass energy, as part of renewable energy sources, has been gaining increasing importance due to its sustainability, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and ability to convert organic waste into energy. However, establishing a biomass power plant requires navigating through a series of legal, technical, and environmental procedures. In Turkey, biomass energy investments are regulated under energy […]
Energy law in Turkey is a dynamic field that governs the generation, transmission, distribution, trade, and consumption of energy, including electricity, natural gas, petroleum, and renewable energy resources. As Turkey continues to pursue energy diversification, sustainability, and alignment with European Union standards, its legal framework for energy regulation has evolved significantly. This article explores the […]
The growing focus on renewable energy has made wind power one of the most sought-after energy sources worldwide. Wind turbines, whether for small-scale self-consumption or large-scale wind farms, require a complex set of permits and licenses to ensure compliance with environmental, technical, and legal regulations. In Turkey, the regulatory framework for wind energy projects is […]
The transition to renewable energy sources has become a global priority due to environmental concerns, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the pursuit of energy independence. In this context, solar panel installations have gained momentum worldwide, including in Turkey, as a means to promote clean energy production. Governments, including Turkey’s, provide various incentives, […]
The petroleum market in Turkey is tightly regulated due to its strategic economic importance and safety considerations. Companies that aim to engage in the distribution of fuel products must obtain a distribution license from the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK). This license authorizes a company to operate as a fuel distributor, supply fuel to dealerships, […]
The energy market in Turkey is a highly regulated sector that operates under strict legal frameworks to ensure reliable energy supply, environmental protection, and fair competition. Companies aiming to operate in the distribution segment—whether in electricity, natural gas, petroleum, or LPG—must obtain a distribution license from the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK). This article provides […]
Fuel dealership agreements play a significant role in the energy and fuel distribution sector. These agreements are typically signed between fuel distribution companies (franchisors) and fuel station owners (dealers) to regulate the supply, sale, and marketing of petroleum products. While such agreements create business opportunities, they also involve substantial legal risks if not carefully negotiated […]
In recent years, unlicensed electricity production has become one of the most popular ways to generate energy in Turkey, particularly through renewable sources such as solar and wind energy. The main reason for this popularity lies in legal incentives, simplified licensing procedures, and reduced bureaucracy, especially for small-scale power plants under 1 megawatt (MW) capacity. […]
The global transition to renewable energy has accelerated interest in solar power plants (SPPs) due to their cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits. In Turkey, solar power has become a major pillar of renewable energy investment. However, establishing a solar power plant requires compliance with complex legal frameworks, licensing requirements, and technical standards. In this article, we […]
As the global energy sector shifts toward renewable energy, wind power plants (WPPs) have become a cornerstone of sustainable energy projects. In Turkey, the legal framework for establishing wind power plants is both extensive and complex. It aims to balance energy efficiency, environmental protection, public interest, and investor security. In this article, we will discuss […]
