Renewable energy for rural development in Turkey

Kamıl Kaygusuz, Mükrimin Şevket Güney, Ömer Kaygusuz · 2018 · The Journal of Engineering Research [TJER]

Summary. Turkey has significantly improved rural energy access over three decades, with cooking efficiency rising from 25% to 60% and nearly universal electrification achieved. The paper argues that Turkey should prioritize domestic renewable energy sources—biomass, hydropower, and others—to reduce costly fossil fuel imports and meet rural energy demand. Renewable energy offers job creation and climate benefits while providing sufficient technical potential to supply the country's electricity needs.
