Price can be high in the beginning but incentives to be offered
Turkey to start offering “green only” energy tariff starting from from, said Fatih Dönmez, Energy and Natural Resources Minister. Electricity consumers interested in purchasing clean, renewable energy would be able to use it.
Price can be high initially
Clarifying that they will issue certificates for homes and businesses using the tariff to promote the use of renewable energy, Dönmez said the renewable tariff is not obligatory. The price may be high initially, the minister emphasized, noting, that with the incentives the country has offered to the renewable energy industry, “the decrease in investment costs will also be reflected in prices over time.” Turkey’s electricity production from renewable sources was around 26% in 2002 and has reached 50% to date.

Hi everyone,
I’m running Turkishtechnews.com, a website on tech developments from Turkey. I will be covering subjects ranging from startups to gadgets, digital economy to social media. I’m keen on new technologies as well. On top of those, I’m interested in drama and cinema, with one short and one long film script and three plays. Holding a B.A degree in English Language and Literature, I’m a tech journalist with 15 years of experience.
The reason why I’m here is to produce good quality journalism and try to remain independent as much as possible. Currently, journalism is torn between vague relationships between brands and journalists, not only in Turkey but also globally. Under such circumstances to remain independent is crucial and I need your support to do so.
