Türkiye kömürden çıkıyor mu?
Executive Summary
AI-generatedAn expert suggests that Turkey is beginning a phase-out process for its domestic coal usage, driven by structural and regulatory pressures. This transition is supported by the aging infrastructure of domestic coal power plants and the impending financial burdens imposed by carbon trading systems like TR-ETS and CBAM.
Key Insights
- Domestic coal plants, which constitute 52% of the installed capacity, are aging, with many reaching or exceeding their design lifespan of 30 years.
- New investments in domestic coal have sharply declined; only 2.3% of new capacity over the last decade was based on domestic coal.
- The introduction of the Turkish Emissions Trading System (TR-ETS) and the EU CBAM will significantly increase operational costs for coal plants.
- Without free emission allowances, the costs associated with carbon regulation could potentially reach nearly 50% of current electricity sales prices.
- The decline in domestic coal production is expected to be a natural process as older plants reach the end of their operational life.
