The growing importance of sustainable energy has led many countries, including Turkey, to implement various incentives and support mechanisms for renewable energy investments. Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass projects are particularly favored due to their low environmental impact and alignment with national energy strategies. In Turkey, these incentives are primarily structured under the Renewable […]
Wind energy is one of the most prominent renewable energy sources worldwide, and wind power plants (WPPs) play a critical role in meeting sustainable energy targets. In Turkey, as in many countries, the installation and operation of wind turbines are subject to a wide range of zoning and land-use regulations to ensure public safety, environmental […]
The transition to renewable energy is a priority for both global and national energy policies. In Turkey, solar energy projects have gained significant momentum, driven by incentives, feed-in tariffs, and the abundant availability of solar resources. However, any company or individual seeking to develop a solar energy power plant must first secure the necessary licenses […]
The fuel retail sector in Turkey operates under a strictly regulated framework, with fuel station dealership agreements playing a key role in defining the rights and obligations between fuel suppliers (distributors) and dealers (station operators). These agreements are legally binding contracts that outline the terms of supply, pricing, operation standards, and brand usage. Drafting such […]
The establishment of an electricity generation plant is a complex process that involves strict compliance with legal, technical, and environmental regulations. In Turkey, energy generation is regulated by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) and governed by various laws and secondary legislation. Investors planning to build power plants—whether renewable (solar, wind, hydro) or non-renewable (natural […]
The Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) regulates the energy markets in Turkey, issuing licenses for the generation, distribution, transmission, wholesale, and retail sale of electricity, natural gas, petroleum, and LPG. Obtaining a license is a mandatory step for any entity wishing to operate in the energy sector legally. However, holding a license is not unconditional. […]
The energy market in Turkey is tightly regulated to ensure safe, reliable, and competitive supply of electricity, natural gas, petroleum products, and other energy resources. Companies that intend to trade energy—particularly in wholesale transactions—must obtain a wholesale license from the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK). This license grants legal authorization to engage in the purchase […]
The growing importance of renewable energy, particularly solar energy, has made solar power plants (SPPs) a popular investment area in Turkey. However, the construction and operation of a solar power plant involve numerous legal and administrative procedures, including obtaining permits and approvals from local municipalities. Municipalities play a critical role in approving land use, issuing […]
Wind energy projects have become an essential part of Turkey’s energy transformation strategy, aiming to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote sustainable energy sources. However, the construction of Wind Energy Plants (WEPs) often requires large parcels of land, access roads, transmission lines, and other infrastructure. When private landowners do not voluntarily sell or lease […]
The petroleum sector is a critical component of Turkey’s energy industry, encompassing activities such as refining, storage, distribution, and retail sales of petroleum products. To operate legally within this sector, companies must obtain a petroleum market license from the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK). These licenses regulate different aspects of petroleum activities, ensuring compliance with […]
