One of the basic conditions for the continuity of economic activities is that energy demand is affordable. A major part of the energy demand is provided by fossil sources. However, fossil resources 60 create many external and environmental costs. On the other hand, renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly and economic resources. Indeed, countries benefit from renewable sources at varying levels in energy production. For example; Developed European countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany have become prominent countries in this respect. When the success of these countries is examined, their incentive policy towards renewable energy production is remarkable. Turkey, which is an advantageous country in terms of renewable resources but cannot benefit sufficiently, may be expected to show interest in the incentive experiences of renewable energy generation of the countries handled in the study. In this context, the role of incentives as instruments of fiscal policy in increasing renewable energy production is examined and the incentives applied to renewable energy in Turkey are compared with those in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany.
