EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE NATIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY ACTION PLAN
Abstract
Energy, which is the essence of the matter, is one of the fundamental inputs of all economic sectors. Reducing energy consumption per unit without leading to a reduction in service and product quality is called energy efficiency. In this study, the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan of 2017-2023 enacted in the Official Gazette No. 30289 dated 02.01.2018 was evaluated. The plan includes the implementation of 44 actions in five sectors. Promotion and awareness training should be given to protect the environment and increase the efficiency in energy resources and energy use. Measurement, monitoring and evaluation audits should be conducted frequently. Continuous new projects for energy efficiency must be developed at the national and international arena. Efforts to improve energy efficiency in each sector should be made. The number of authorized companies that will carry out energy efficiency measurement, monitoring and evaluation audits should be increased. The organizations of congress and fairs on energy efficiency activities should continuously be encouraged.
