One of the main entry barriers for wind developers is the weakness of the national electricity grid.
Although there are many projects in the pipeline, they cannot be realized unless they are feeding
into the grid without causing frequency fluctuations and system instability. According to
Eurelectrics Power Outages 2003 study, wind power was one of the contributors to critical
outages, and the countrys grid will require substantial investments in order to mitigate these
outages in the future.
Another reason why Turkey lags behind is state incentives. Currently, the feed-in tariff for
renewables is limited to 55 EUR/MWh. The new proposed amendment to the law would offer 80
EUR/MWh for on land wind power applications (Graph-2). The Parliamentary General Assembly
is on summer leave until October (thats right) and has postponed review of the proposal to the

lower than before, the wind industry still needs public incentives.
