INCENTIVES AS A FISCAL POLICY TOOL IN RENEWABLE ENERGY PRODUCTION: EXPERIENCES OF A NUMBER OF SELECTED EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND TURKEY
Abstract
One of the basic conditions for the continuity of economic activities is that energy demand is
affordable. A major part of the energy demand is provided by fossil sources. However, fossil resources

create many external and environmental costs. On the other hand, renewable energy sources are
environmentally friendly and economic resources. Indeed, countries benefit from renewable sources at
varying levels in energy production. For example; Developed European countries such as Denmark,
Sweden, Norway, Finland and Germany have become prominent countries in this respect. When the
success of these countries is examined, their incentive policy towards renewable energy production is
remarkable. Turkey, which is an advantageous country in terms of renewable resources but cannot
benefit sufficiently, may be expected to show interest in the incentive experiences of renewable energy
generation of the countries handled in the study. In this context, the role of incentives as instruments
of fiscal policy in increasing renewable energy production is examined and the incentives applied to
renewable energy in Turkey are compared with those in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and
Germany.
