Summary: | Energy efficiency (EE) is critical to
help Turkey continue its trajectory of economic growth in a
sustainable manner. The Government of Turkey recognizes this
and has placed EE as a key component of its energy strategy
and National Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan. Over
the past 5-10 years, it has made considerable advances in
establishing a strong policy and legal framework, creating a
robust institutional set-up and developing programs to
support EE implementation. Institutionally, the General
Directorate of Electric Power Resources Survey and
Development Administration (EIE) had been mandated with EE
policy making, implementation and promotion since 1981, and
an Energy Efficiency Coordination Board (EECB) was
established under the 2007 EE Law to coordinate various EE
policies, programs and other efforts. In November 2011, EIE
was converted into the General Directorate for Renewable
Energy (GDRE) and absorbed within the Ministry of Energy and
Natural Resources (MENR). The World Bank conducted an EE
institutional review in consultation with the Turkish
Government with the objective to enhance their ability to
more effectively manage EE policies and programs and thus
contribute to helping meet its stated national EE targets.
The review consisted of a detailed assessment of the current
institutional set-up, including roles and responsibilities
for EE in Turkey, along with a comparison with international
experience and best practices. A final set of institutional
options and recommendations are provided at the end of the report. |
