Energy

Electricity and natural gas markets in Turkey have been undergoing a reform era in parallel with global developments due to various factors, such as the rise of sustainable energy concept, ever-increasing need for electricity and strict competition in the market. As a result of these reforms, the sector is now subject to a detailed regulation under the Electricity Market Law, Natural Gas Market Law and the secondary legislations that followed them. The dynamism driven by the changing needs in the sector has also implicated the fact that the said legislation has been the most amended and re-enacted one in Turkey. In this respect, it is critical to keep a close eye on industrial and legal developments to ensure compliance with this elusive legislation.
