Özet:

The clean, economic and efficient use of energy, which is one of today’s indispensable means of consumption, is the most important indicator of the country’s level of development. The extinction of natural resources, global warming, climate change and the rapidly increasing use of energy in the world are bringing renewable energy sources to an important point. In our developing country, industrialization activities, new technologies, increased living standards and increased population have to consume more energy each year. Although Turkey’s energy sources are very diverse, the current primary energy sources remain insufficient to meet the demand. The low percentage of renewable energy among energy sources and the lack of stable steps lead to a lack of resources diversity and the continued external dependence on energy. Many EU countries have developed government policies to ensure the production and use of renewable energy and to encourage new investments. In this study, comparing the studies that the EU has done in this field with the increased wind energy use of Turkey, a general assessment of the wind energy policy of Turkey has been made.
