DEVELOPMENTS IN ENERGY POLICIES IN TURKIYE AND INVESTIGATION OF PRIMARY ENERGY SUPPLY WITHIN NUTS 1 REGIONS

Energy is a vital issue, which is directly related to development. There are many publications on energy and development, renewable energy, and sustainable development. As of 2021, Türkiye is foreign dependent at a rate of 70% in energy. Therefore, energy imports constitute a tremendous economic charge for Türkiye. For this reason, within the scope of this research, energy policies and the process of Türkiye in energy are discussed. First, the policies developed regarding energy policies in eleven development plans were examined. Then, by focusing on the recent past, fundamental economic indicators and energy indicators in Türkiye’s NUTS1 regions, a regional analysis was carried out. Finally, the regions' energy installed capacities, energy consumption, and production data are emphasized and maps were made. "How is the energy sources distribution in NUTS1 regions in Türkiye?" and "What kind of path has been followed in the last 20 years on renewable energy, and what is the latest situation?" questions were answered in this study.
