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:

Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…
