In a move to meet its target of reaching 30% of its power from renewable sources by 2023 , Turkey implemented a long-awaited renewable energy law.

The law first adjusts and increases the Turkish Feed-in tariffs , fixed as follows:

Renewable source

Power plant capacity

Period of time

Feed-in tariff rate in USD/kWh

Installation capacity cap

Wind

All sizes

Hydropower

Geothermal

0.105

Biomass

0.133

Biogas

Solar PV

600 MW by 2013

Such tariffs replace previous rates ranging from EUR 0.05 to EUR 0.055/kWh that used to apply to all renewable technologies.

Tariffs apply for a ten-year period to power generators completed in 2005 to 2015. Renewable producers will also benefit from a 85% discount on transmission costs for 10 years.

The 2010 RE Law also includes bonus payments for hardware components made in Turkey to support and boost the national manufacturing sector. Companies the facilities of which rely on locally produced equipment/components receive a bonus to their feed-in tariff, fixed as follows:

Brazil’s New Oil Frontier Could Keep Its Boom Alive For Decades

Last week, the state-run Oil & Gas giant announced it has found oil at the Morpho-1 well (Block FZA-M-59) in the mouth of the Amazon roughly 180 kilometres (112 miles) off the coast of Amapa state, “All of our studies indicate substantial potential.…

Hormuz Oil Crisis Accelerates Global EV Sales

Global electric vehicle sales have surged this year following the oil supply disruption in the Middle East and the second oil price shock in four years. The accelerating EV adoption that began with the spike in oil and fuel prices earlier this year is set to remain a trend in the global markets and could push the share of EVs in the passenger fleet above earlier expectations, analysts at Wood Mackenzie say. Challenges to accelerated adoption still remain, including the need for billions of U.S. dollars in investments in critical battery minerals…

Washington Eases Gasoline Rules as Iran Pressure Campaign Jolts Fuel Costs

Washington is tightening the screws on Iran and loosening the rules on gasoline at the same time as Americans are paying more than $4 a gallon. The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday authorized an early switch to cheaper winter-grade gasoline, allowing sales of gasoline blended with 10% ethanol beginning September 1 rather than waiting for the normal mid-September seasonal transition. The administration says ending summer-blend requirements early could add hundreds of thousands of barrels per day to domestic gasoline supply and provide…

How Solar Panel Prices Fell 90 Percent In 15 Years

Solar power is far and away the world’s fastest-growing form of energy production, beating out every other form of energy on Earth in 2025. Despite a recent political pivot away from renewable energies in the world’s largest economy, solar power additions continue to shatter its own records year over year as the sector has long since outgrown any need for subsidies. Solar power has simply become too cheap to fail. “We have a plentiful and cheap source of electricity that can be built quickly, almost anywhere in the world,”…
