Turkey

Turkey has a FIT program established by law, the Law on Utilization of Renewable Energy Resources for the Purpose of Generating Electrical Energy, Law No. 5346, enacted in 2005.

Summary

The law mainly supports wind power by setting a purchase guarantee of the average whole-selling electricity price (some 5 ct/kWh) for a period of 7 years for electricity generated from renewable energies. Grid operators are obliged to provide access to the grid for renewable energy generators.

In May 2009, a new solar feed-in tariff was announced. The tariff is supposed to operate over a twenty year period with a rate of an equivalent of €0.28 per kwh for the first ten years and a rate of €0.22 for the following ten years. The bill is still in the parliamentary process.
