Abstract

Turkey, like
some other developing nations, has been facing energy problems.
Energy need has been increasing not only because of economic
grovvtl, but also betause of the high population increase and cultural
development. A sod of reciprocal effect between energy use and economic
growth makes the societies demand more energy. Turkey has taken some
steps to answer the ever increasing energy demand; but estimations
show that these steps are definitely not enough to meet the need in the
coming years.

She must take some additional and immediate actions before the gap between energy demand and
supply starts increasing even faster. These actions may be taken on the
demand and supply sides. Besides, some incentives may be applied to
encourage the private enterprise and free market system; courses and
researches may be implemented at universities for the renewable energy sources
in order to decrease dependency of the country and for the sake of sustainable
development.
