Energy sector and wind energy potential in Turkey

R. Tugrul Ogulata

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2003, vol. 7, issue 6, 469-484

Abstract: Turkey has very limited indigenous energy resources and has to import around 65% of primary energy to meet her needs. It is a large importer of primary energy despite having ample renewable energy sources. Turkey's vibrant economy has led to increased energy demand in recent years. This situation is expected to continue in the near future because its economy is dependent mainly on imported oil, natural gas and electricity. This paper presents the prevailing and the expected energy situation and energy demand. Wind energy potential in Turkey is also discussed.
