"Central anatolia" is anything but infertile.

And I am from Karaman.

But Turkey has some desert. Why not create artificial lakes? A country in Far East (lost the name) has created thousands of artificial lakes.

That would be a waste of ressources.

Absolutely not! Don’t cost much just need to digging holes. By the time it will be fillled with rain water. And voila, you have an isotope.
 
You don’t need an energy minister when you have people paying from their pockets for this stolen electricity... Next time when you guys wonder why your bills are so big you can sleep well when knowing you helped a huge family or two from Southeastern Anatolia with paying the electricity and water they use for free.
 
Europe added 8.61 GW of solar in 2017 with Turkey taking top spot
Annual growth of 28% on 2016’s performance points to promising future as Turkey’s 1.79 GW saw the nation overtake Germany as Europe’s most dynamic solar market. Former shining star the U.K. slinks away from top table after shrinking 54%.

Turkey's 213% annual growth was enough to see the nation lead the way for PV installations in Europe in 2017; but can that pace be sustained in 2018?

European solar body SolarPower Europe has estimated that the continent installed 8.61 GW of new PV capacity in 2017 – a 28% increase on the previous year.

Leading the charge in 2017 was Turkey, which installed 1.79 GW of new capacity over the 12 months of the year, as pv magazine reported early in January.

The share of renewable energy in electricity generation reached 32 percent in the third quarter of 2017, surpassing the target of 30 percent that was set for 2023.
With a view to decreasing its dependence on external energy resources, Turkey has been aggressively investing in renewable energy and as a result, the share of renewables in power generation increased 32 percent in the third quarter of last year
The share of renewable energy, which serves as one of the most important pillars of the National Energy and Mine Policy and led by hydro, wind and solar energy, reached 32 percent in the third quarter of 2017, surpassing the target of 30 percent that was set for 2023.

One of the important pillars of the National Energy and Mine Policy initiated by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources to reduce external dependence on energy is renewable energy sources.

In the last 10 years, 53 percent of investments in power generation facilities have been made in renewable energies. Electricity production, which was 129.4 billion kWh in 2002, reached 219.6 billion kWh in the third quarter of 2017.

Approximately one-third of the production was provided by renewable energy sources. Considering the fact that 66 percent the electricity needed globally was generated from fossil fuels and 24 percent from renewable resources, Turkey ranks much higher than the world average with 32 percent.

According to HaberTürk's report, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, which focuses on "more domestic and more renewable," has prioritized the renewable resources regarding the strategy it has developed for this purpose. Important steps have been taken for wind, solar and geothermal resources.

Through these steps, the share of renewable resources in the installed capacity in Turkey was achieved well above the world average. The electricity production from renewable sources, which amounted to 34 billion kilowatts in 2002, reached 91 billion kilowatts with an increase of 168 percent in 2016. The installed capacity of renewable energy resources tripled at the end of the third quarter of 2017, rising from 12,277 megawatts to 36,702 megawatts. The total installed power of renewable energy investments realized until the end of the third quarter of 2017 stood at approximately 4,793 megawatts.

Localization of resources and technology

Domestic and national energy mobilization brought localization not only in production resources but also in technology. In this context, significant steps have been taken to use energy resources more efficiently and effectively with the Renewable Energy Resource Areas (YEKA) model, which requires the obligation of domestic employment and research and development activities.

With the new model, the renewable energy resource production facilities such as solar and wind will be installed with parts and components with high domestic contribution rate and advanced technology.

Technology transfer will be made available, and research and development activities in renewable energy will be developed in Turkey.

Together with the YEKAs, electricity will be generated from renewable energy at lower prices. Thanks to the factories that will be established within the scope of the Land Allocation in Exchange for Domestic Production model, a significant amount of human resources will be provided for domestic employment and qualified personnel.

Evaluating the RES tender made by YEKA model, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Berat Albayrak said eight of the 10 largest turbine producers in the world, including four German, two Chinese, one American and one Danish company, participated in the YEKA RES bidding.

"These eight companies represent 90 percent of the wind market. Such an intense interest in a long-term project like YEKA is an indication of the confidence in our country's economy in the international arena," the minister continued.

"Within the scope of YEKA projects, at least 90 percent in the establishment and operation of the electric energy production facility and the operation of the factory and at least 80 percent in the research and development activities have been conditioned with local employment. The aim is to form an experienced and qualified workforce in this context. A great industry has emerged related to renewable energy technologies," he added.

Wind meets electricity needs of 1.1 million households

The second tender within the scope of the YEKA model was held for wind energy. The project, which has an investment amount of over $1 billion within the scope of YEKA Wind Power Plant (YEKA RES), will have a total installed power of 1,000 megawatts.

The project, which will have a minimum generation capacity of 3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year, will meet the electricity requirement of 1.1 million households. The consortium that will receive the tender will be conducting the research and development activities for 10 years with the condition of spending at least $5 million every year.

Total employment to be provided within the scope of the project is expected to be 3,750 people. An important input of the YEKA model will be to increase clean energy production. YEKA RES project will provide 1.5 million tons of CO2 emission reduction per year alone.

The first application within the scope of YEKA was realized in Karapınar, Konya. The world's largest solar power plant (GES) with a capacity of 1,000 MW will be installed in 19.2 square kilometers of the 27.2-square-kilometer area designated as the Renewable Energy Resource Area (YEKA).

With its operation, it will produce approximately 1.7 billion kilowatts of electricity each year. Thus, an average of 600,000 households will be provided with energy every year.

At the production facility, which will be operated for 30 years, photovoltaic (PV) solar modules to be manufactured in Turkey, and auxiliary parts certified as domestic materials to be supplied from domestic producers will be used. The domestic contribution rate will be at least 60 percent for the first 500 MWp and at least 70 percent for the remaining 500 MWp. The integrated plant whose foundations were laid with the said project, is expected to start production one year later.

The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, which aims to further include renewable energy resource areas into the energy portfolio, has provided significant support to the private sector with Renewable Energy Resources Support Mechanism (YEKDEM) in this regard.

Factors such as improved new technologies, quicker and easier installation increased efficiency in production and reduced costs. With YEKA, a record-breaking decline was experienced in prices. For solar-based production facilities, a maximum price of 20 cents per kilowatt-hour was paid with YEKDEM, while the price fell to 6.99 cents with YEKA model. For wind-based production facilities, a maximum of 11 cents was paid per kilowatt-hour with YEKDEM, while a record figure of 3.48 cents was achieved with YEKA.

YEKDEM, which will be terminated in 2020, will be replaced with YEKA investments.

LM Wind Power starts delivery of wind turbine blades from Turkish facility
Published 15 February 2018
LM Wind Power, a supplier of rotor blades to the wind industry, has started delivering its first blades from its new factory in Bergama, Turkey.

The first blades left the Bergama factory in December 2017 and traveled 100km by road to the Izmir-Alsancak Port. In total, the Bergama team will ship 99 blades to their final destination, more than 14,000km away.

The 63+ meter blades will be commissioned on GE’s 3.43MW wind turbines at the Bodangora Wind Farm, a 113.2MW wind site developed by Infigen Energy and GE in South East Australia. GE’s turbines, equipped with these LM Wind Power blades, are set to capture the abundant winds in New South Wales.

The Bergama plant celebrated the start of production in July 2017. Ever since, the team has been hard at work to train every new employee to produce blades up to our global quality standards.

Bergama Plant Director Ozan Mamay said: “We’re very proud of our first shipment, as it demonstrates how far we have come in producing blades both theoretically and physically.

“Teamwork is the key to our success; the whole LM family contributed to the training and mentoring of our team. Our ambition is to create a learning organization going forward and respond to challenges together.

Now with more than 370 employees, the Bergama facility is the first new blade manufacturing site since the firm became a GE Renewable Energy business earlier this year.

It represents a $50m commitment to Turkey, creating skilled, technical jobs for the region, which range from manufacturing operations, to technical engineering, services, administration and ancillary support.

In addition to providing blades to wind projects outside of Turkey, the factory will address the needs of the fast-growing Turkish wind industry. Since 2010, annual new wind installations have continued to increase and sustained growth is predicted with a target of 20GW by 2023.

^to be honest it's easy to grow %200 if what you had before was just a teeny tiny thermal solar plant :)

If I have 1 chocolate bar and if I go ahead and buy 2 more, that's a %200 incerase in my stockpile. it's true, but a bit bit misleading to suggest that I'm growing at a faster rate than a guy with a chocolate factory :D

Germany is still, far, far ahead of us.

Dicle Elektrik Dağıtım AŞ Genel Müdürü Murat Karagüzel, Batman, Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa, Mardin, Siirt ve Şırnak’ta 2017 yılında elektrikte yüzde 75 olan kayıp-kaçak oranının yapılan yatırımlarla son 5 yılda yüzde 65’e gerilediğini söyledi.

Batman’da beraberinde Dicle EDAŞ İl Müdürü Yusuf Açar ve Dicle Elektrik Perakende Satış AŞ (DEPSAŞ) İl Müdürü Serhat Öztürk ile bir kafeteryada düzenlenen basın toplantısına katılan Karagüzel, 2017 ile gerçekleştirilen yatırımlar ve 2018 yılına ilişkin hedeflerini açıkladı. Dicle Elektrik Dağıtım Genel Müdürü Murat Karagüzel, özellikle yaz ve kış aylarında elektrik kullanım oranının arttığına işaret ederek, diğer bölgelerde evlerde aylık 134 kilovat saat elektrik kullanımı gerçekleşirken Batman, Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa, Mardin, Siirt ve Şırnak’ta ise ev başına aylık 645 kilovat saat elektrik kullanıldığını belirti.

Dicle Elektrik’in sorumluluğundaki illerde geçen sene 366 milyon liralık yatırım yapıldığını dile getiren Murat Karagüzel, 2018 yılı için yatırım hedeflerinin de bu rakama yakın olduğunu belirtti. Karagüzel, bu yatırımlarla hem abonelere daha kaliteli hizmet ulaştırılmasının sağlandığını hem de kayıp-kaçak ile mücadele edildiğini aktararak, “Batman, Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa, Mardin, Siirt ve Şırnak’ta 2017 yılında elektrikte yüzde 75 olan kayıp-kaçak oranı yapılan yatırımlarla son 5 yılda yüzde 65’e geriledi” dedi.





Ah if I were the president, Id cut the electricity access of at least 20.000.000 people!!! Then they would have to start paying their bills EŞŞEKKLER GİBİ!!

if you charged the neighborhood where electricity theft occurs, the problem would sort itself out.

People who pay would go and have a word with people who don't.
