Abstract

Çevresel olarak kilit konumda olan yenilenebilir kaynaklarının enerji verimliliği açısından objektif bir biçimde değerlendirilmesi büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, Sahra Altı Afrika bölgesindeki elektrik enerjisi ihtiyacına değinilmiş ve yenilenebilir kaynakların dağıtık enerji üretimi yönüne vurgu yapılmıştır. Ardından dağıtık enerji üretiminin enerji kayıplarına ve enerji kayıplarının dış borç stoklarına etkisi ayrı ayrı değerlendirilmiştir. Buna paralel olarak Sahra Altı Afrika örneği üzerinde analizler yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarının enerji görünümü benzer diğer ülkelere de örnek oluşturması amaçlanmıştır. Uygulama kısmında Sahra Altı Afrika’ya ait 1971-2014 dönemi için yıllık veriler kullanılarak ARDL sınır testi analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, uzun dönemde değişkenler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı eşbütünleşme ilişkisi bulunduğunu göstermiştir. İstatistiksel olarak anlamlı sonuçlara göre, dağıtık enerji üretiminde meydana gelen artışlar elektrik kayıp-kaçak miktarını azaltmaktadır. Elektrik kayıplarında meydana gelen artışlar ise dış borç miktarını artırmaktadır.

AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF RENEWABLE (DISTRIBUTED) ENERGY PRODUCTION IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES IN TERMS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND PUBLIC DEBT

Abstract

It is important to objectively evaluate renewable resources, which are in a key position environmentally with respect to energy efficiency. In this respect, the electricity energy need has been mentioned in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, and the distributed energy production aspect of renewable resources has been emphasized. Then, the effects of distributed energy generation on energy losses and the impact of losses on external debt stocks have been evaluated separately. In parallel with this, the analyzes have been made on the sub-Saharan African sample. The results of the research are aimed to set an example for other countries with a similar energy outlook. In the empirical part, ARDL boundary test analysis has been carried out using the annual data for the period of 1971-2014 belonging to Sub-Saharan Africa. The results obtained show that there is a statistically significant cointegration relationship between the variables in the long run. According to the statistically significant results, the increases in distributed energy production decrease the amount of electricity loss-leakage. Increases in electricity losses raise the amount of external debt.
