Although renewable energy sources have many advantages, the initial cost to be used is quite high. For instance, a well-equipped and qualified workforce is needed for its design, construction and operation. These issues are also an obstacle to the development of renewable energy projects. Therefore, it is very important to determine the right policies for the development of clean energy projects. In this context, there is a need for a new study that takes into consideration different sets of criteria. The aim of this study is to determine the most appropriate strategy for increasing renewable energy projects in Turkey. In this context, firstly, a comprehensive literature review was conducted, and five different criteria were determined. Then, an analysis was carried out with the DEMATEL method, and the most optimal strategy was determined. The biggest contribution of this study to the literature is the determination of the right policies for the development of clean energy projects, which are important for the sustainable development of countries. As a result, lowering interest rates is the most important criterion for increasing renewable energy investments. Increasing research and development studies is also important in this context. On the other hand, the efficiency of the banking system, the training of qualified personnel and the provision of tax reductions are of lower importance. As a result, it has been determined that policy makers should give priority to interest rate cuts. Thanks to the interest rate reduction, investors have the opportunity to use loans at lower costs. This helps to increase the profitability of these projects. As a result, investors will be willing to turn to this field.

YENİLENEBİLİR ENERJİ YATIRIMLARININ ARTTIRILMASINA YÖNELİK OPTİMAL POLİTİKALARIN BELİRLENMESİ: TÜRKİYE ÜZERİNE DEMATEL YÖNTEMİYLE BİR ANALİZ

Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının birçok avantajı olmasına rağmen kullanılabilmesi için başlangıç maliyeti oldukça yüksektir. Öncelikle tasarımı, inşası ve işletilmesi için çok donanımlı ve kalifiye işgücüne ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Belirtilen bu hususlar da yenilenebilir enerji projelerinin gelişiminin önünde engel teşkil etmektedir. Dolayısıyla, temiz enerji projelerinin gelişimi için doğru politikaların belirlenmesi oldukça önemlidir. Bu bağlamda, farklı kriter setleri dikkate alınarak gerçekleştirilen yeni bir çalışmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’deki yenilenebilir enerji projelerinin arttırılması için gerekli olan en uygun stratejinin belirlenmesidir. Bu bağlamda, ilk olarak, geniş kapsamlı bir literatür taraması yapılmış ve beş farklı kriter tespit edilmiştir. Daha sonra, DEMATEL yöntemiyle bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiş ve en optimal stratejinin tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın literatüre en büyük katkısı ülkelerin sürdürülebilir kalkınması için önem arz eden temiz enerji projelerinin geliştirilmesi için gerekli olan doğru politikaların belirlenmesidir. Sonuç olarak, faiz oranlarının düşürülmesi yenilenebilir enerji yatırımlarının arttırılmasında en fazla önem arz eden kriterdir. Araştırma ve geliştirme çalışmalarının arttırılması da bu bağlamda önem arz etmektedir. Öte yandan, bankacılık sisteminin etkin olması, kalifiye personel yetiştirilmesi ve vergi indirimi sağlanması daha düşük önem ağırlığına sahiptirler. Netice itibarıyla, politika yapıcıların faiz indirimine öncelik vermesi gerektiği belirlenmiştir. Faiz oranı indirimi sayesinde, yatırımcılar daha düşük maliyetle kredi kullanabilme imkanına sahip olmaktadır. Bu durum da bu projelerin karlılığının artmasına yardımcı olmaktadır. Bunun sonucunda da yatırımcılar bu alana yönelmede istekli olabilecektir.
