5. Opportunity: Turkey Can Scale Up
Renewable Energy Dramatically

6. Solar Power:
Huge Global Potential, Largely Uncharted
Total Solar energy potential:
120,000 TW
Global energy demand: 15
TW
Total Current Solar Energy
Capacity: 0.009 TW

7. Solar Power: Both PV and CSP
Applications Have Potential
Conventional PV Solar for Solar PV – Serpa, Portugal
Residential Water Heating
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP)
Solar Power Tower – Seville, Spain Parabolic Troughs – Nevada USA

8. Global Solar Energy Use:
Small, but Growing Rapidly…

9. Turkey: High Solar Energy Potential …
Most favorable areas for

Commercial viability requires still high tariffs (US cents
30-40/ kWh) – which will fall as technology advances

11. Enabling Environment for Private
Solar Power Investment in Turkey
• Basic Framework in Place:
– Renewable Energy Law – feed-in tariff system,
assured purchase arrangements
– Regulatory framework
• Some Possible Next Steps:
– Higher feed-in tariffs
– Concessional finance
– Clear and transparent framework for licensing,
evaluation methodology etc.
