Summary of support schemes
Feed-in tariff. Plant operators are entitled against the grid operator to the payment of a fixed feed-in tariff for all electricity exports to the grid. The feed-in tariff varies according to the source of energy used and whether the components of the plants are made in Turkey or not. Furthermore, there are feed-in tariffs for facilities in renewable energy zones, which are determined via tenders.
YEKA tender. The General Directorate of Renewable Energy conducts tenders in Renewable Energy Zones, so-called YEKA-zones for a fixed power capacity. All types of renewable energy sources are eligible, however there have only been tenders for solar and on- and offshore wind power as of November 2018.
Technologies
All renewable energy generation technologies are eligible.
