ABSTRACT

According to official reports, the demand of electricity in Turkey will grow by 8% every year. There are two aspects of these reports. One aspect is the driving force of the declared demand for electricity. The investments of energy sector in Turkey so far are not decided by using a long-term strategic energy-economyenvironment decision support tool. If there is an export credit available for a technology investment, this investment is accepted as a “valuable” investment and included in the strategic plan of the investments [1]. Similar to credit cards, export credits are delivered

on more favourable conditions to citizens or companies if the market value of the “to be purchased good” is reduced or even becomes zero, due to improvement in the standards or a step taken to implement the related European Directive. When an obsolete technology is dislocated, the problems of this technology are also transported to the future of the destination country.
