dc.description.abstractThe increase in demand for energy worldwide and its environmental impacts lead countries to more strategic energy policies. There are no risk-free energy sources in terms of security of supply or environmental impacts. However, more efficient methods are more environmentalist or eco-friendly systems. In parallel with the recent high rates of economic growth in Turkey, the annual increase in consumption growth rate reached an average of 5.59% in the last 11 years. Between 2004 and 2014, electricity consumption increased from 150 billion kWh - 1.70 times - to 255.5 billion kWh. Among the electrical energy installed capacity of Turkey, production obtained from hydraulic sources was 35%, natural gas 30.1%, coal 20.5%, and geothermal + wind + solar sources 6.4%. The share of other sources was 8%. In 2014, with 250.4 billion kWh electric generation, Turkey was ranked 19th globally. It's global share was 1.1%. Turkey's energy sector, which has been based upon on three fundamental pillars (natural gas, coal, and hydraulic) so far, is now being reorganized as a five-pillared structure, including renewable energy sources and nuclear energy. This study discusses the energy overview and new strategic developments to demonstrate Turkey's recent energy policies on the international arena.
