Özet:

The country’s energy demand is constantly increasing and its national goals are set to solve the problem of energy dependency as much as possible. In this context, according to the National Energy and Mining Policy, which was announced in March 2017, the energy dependency rates are high and the energy import rate is approximately $55-60 billion per year, with Turkey’s own resources aimed at reducing this dependency, and at this point the linearity is a strategic mission. The main objective in this policy is to evaluate our domestic energy resources and mines within the country. However, despite the goal of increasing the share of linyit as a local source (incentivation of linyit through the import coal extra tax in 2016 / $15 extra tax per ton of coal), natural gas-based thermal power plants and import coal-based thermal power plants continue to play an effective role in electricity production. Despite the suggestion, imported coal has a 17% stake in electricity production is related to its cost-compatibility and better quality (high calorie-less smoke and dirt). In this sense, the dominant position of the private sector in the energy sector creates problems with the preference of linyit and the use of this source more. Also, having any energy source from a country’s point of view does not mean that that source will be used in the maximum capacity. Because energy security covers sustainability as well as supply. In this phase, the mission charged with linearity in the last period of energy policy of Turkey should be discussed when assessed in the context of energy security, sustainability (economic, environmental) and national energy policies.
