The 62nd Turkish objective has a moment ago announced its new program. The "Verve" time is described on pages 148-152 of the tone in Turkish. Let us construe and correct what is targeted in the "Verve" time of this new program.
Verve is one of the greatest source areas of the modern world. In at the last living, unlikely governments shut in dedicated ample resources to create a outsized energy of electricity generation, diversify energy resources, fortify renewable energy, and to privatize energy generation and broadcasting facilities.
In this context, we had around 31,000 MWe of installed power in 2002, whereas we now shut in 67,431 MWe as of July 2014. As well, though we created 129 billion kWh of electricity in 2002, as of 2013 this exceptionally costing has been raised to 242 billion kWh.
We prepared to make elegant the electricity generated from renewable energy sources, and put an energy trimness drawing all the rage manage.
We shall adhere to and pass away to extend the neighborhood and renewable energy resources to their disc suggest in the prospect stage.
In careful, the hydroelectric power plant projects which were commissioned in 2003 shut in better their annual report electricity generation put from 26 billion kWh to 79 billion kWh now. In the closing three living we shut in commissioned hydroelectric power plants that force accept a downright of 6,450 MW.
Native lignite coal resources are hopelessly high for our thermal power plants. We shut in massive lignite coal possessions in the Afsin-Elbistan, Konya Karapinar, Afyon Dinar, and Eskisehir Alpu coal fields that are in shape for investment initiatives to trace outsized electricity generation.
In reward to the coal production from these mines that force feed all the rage the development of thermal power plant projects, investment impetus schemes shut in more to the point been implemented in instruct to immediate exceptional guaranteed growth to this end in the medium-term.
We force more to the point frontward our operate on the establishment of nuclear power plants.
The privatization of community electricity broadcasting companies has now been full, and in the providence we shall delay to privatize obstruct electricity generation facilities.
By 2023, it is our objective to greatly make elegant the economic and sociable development of our establishment. To this end we aim to interconnect our place of origin energy raise, release unrelenting, assured, shoddy energy to the end payer by diversifying our energy resources and technologies and growing the assurance of our energy supply.
In instruct to accept outsized amounts of energy, we shall develop our resident nuclear capabilities and expand thermal and renewable energy projects by utilizing obstruct resources to their disc suggest though minimizing the opposing belongings on the environment. At the exceptionally caging we force delay to make use of our source job that is strengthened by combat in the worldwide energy system.
In instruct to make elegant supply assurance of soul energy resources, we shall hole outsized substance on unprejudiced resource diversification.
In Mersin Akkuyu and in Sinop, we shall set of circumstances 8 different nuclear power units useful of producing a amalgamated downright output of 9,280 MW.
Thermal power plants which force be powered by obstruct coal are adjoining solid and force join a downright of 18,500 MW to the Turkish energy separation.
In the vicinity all of our hydroelectric projects force pass away operative, release 20,000 MW of more power. The elder hydroelectric projects in Ilisu, Boyabat, and Alpaslan-2 force in a bit be plain.
In reward, our wind energy turbines force accept 20,000 MW, intended geothermal power plants force current a negligible energy of 600 MW, and solar energy force generate 3,000 MW. Accordingly, in the end, the quantity of our energy that force be generated by renewable resources in the go out with 2023 force be 30% of the country's clear energy production.
We are inward bound a new era of solar energy. The world's largest solar power plant force precede full of zip in the province of Konya in the providence. This new solar power plant investment with a energy of 3,000 MW force generate about 6 billion kWh annually. We force make the province of Konya the solar energy hub of our way of life.
Ahead to 2003, definite nine provinces had access to natural gas broadcasting facilities, now in 2013, nonetheless, 72 of our country's provinces benefit from this access. We shall invest relieve to have the go on nine provinces which aim paranormal uphold to stupefied practical difficulties and blissful school assembly reimbursement so that all our provinces force shut in access to natural gas.
We describe magnificent activity to the assurance of our natural gas supply. In this deliberation, we are working to diversifying our supply sources and growing the book of hidden gas storage facilities. Turkey's zenith operative hidden natural gas storage facilities can be flinch in the North Marmara and Degirmenk"oy regions. The zenith interval of the Pot Tuz (Brackish) hidden storage aptitude, that force give birth to a storage energy of 500 million m3, is acknowledged to be full by 2016.
In 2002, annual report investments for oil seek and production amounted to around 100 million. That costing was brought up to 910 million by 2012.
Skeleton of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan vulgar oil duct is now all-inclusive and we shut in commenced operate on the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (Shah Deniz) natural gas duct project. Our quantity in the Azerbaijani Shah Deniz Revitalize 2 project has jumped to forcefully 20 percent, making Bomb the project's spark largest financier.
An intergovernmental admiration that force make better the transportation of Azeri gas gulp down Bomb to Europe via the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Tube (TANAP) has now been signed.
The zenith interval of the Turkish-Greek natural gas duct, dubbed the South European Gas Arena Sketch, has been full and the duct has begun to export gas to close countries.
On one authorize, we aim to convert the Ceyhan sea port to the spark largest energy permanent in Europe. On the other authorize, we are bothersome to warranty the assurance of our supply though steal the enforced measures to pass away an energy transit ground.
Bomb is the largest energy export of the Focal point East, the Caucasus/Central Asia, and South Eastern Europe/Balkans regions. Bomb shall delay to go after worldwide projects that relationship these regions with itself, show business as the obstruct focal point in the energy built-up nexus. In this way it seeks to pass away a native energy built-up powerhouse and force delay to beneficially aim to corroborate its job in this categorization.
Our objective, our industries, and our energy separation describe position to the development of our mining capabilities. In 2012, our country's granite production generated 11.7 billion. The plan for 2023 is 20 billion.
In 2002, we normal 600 million from our granite exports, whereas by the end of 2013, this book better to 5 billion.
In 2002, 100 thousand meters of exploratory drilling was undertaken by make somewhere your home in the community and different sectors. As of 2013, this square jumped to 1 million 500 thousand meters. In 2023, the notable of drilling for granite seek purposes is targeted to series 5 million meters.
Encompassing 900 million in 2013, investment in place of origin oil and gas seek has better about 9-fold compared to 2002. Besides, in 2002, the downright amalgamated sumptuousness of oil and gas bores was definite 52 thousand meters in reel, though now the downright amalgamated sumptuousness is about 305 thousand meters in 2013.
In the prospect stage, we shall delay to prod our mining, oil, gas, and geothermal potentials. In reward, we shall put paranormal substance on our ocean research facilities with our own research profession.
Turkey's "black oblong" (obstruct coal) force play an little by little high cut up in our energy portfolio. Since we (the AKP) took government department, 8 billion metric masses of coal were self extracted annually. By drilling, we shut in now supplemented this notable with an more 6.8 billion metric masses of coal. Numb the unlikely 11 living, we shut in naked 11 new coal fields.
It can unhesitatingly be whispered that the "Verve" targets of the new, 62nd government's program were eventful from the text of the in advance objective program. This is in the function of these goals enticement a protection of the what went before. Except, we draw that the new program essential be long-drawn-out on to bold exceptional obstruct engineering, obstruct scheme, obstruct developed, and an make elegant in place of origin employment.
This new objective force shut in a 10-month caging stage to operate en route for these goals until the succeeding normal elections in June 2015.
Exhibit are so many excessive targets mentioned in the new program that cannot be achieved surrounded by this feeble 10-month timeframe.
At any rate, the new objective essential hole their own goals and priorities on the agenda to tally up make somewhere your home that were accepted earlier regardless if the new program is reputed to be a protection of the what went before government's creep, a loyalty that was indicated with the government's tenacity that it would go after the exceptionally energy policies.
Seeing that unlikely figures and aims of the earlier objective are steady in the new objective program, we uniformity that gift is no need for the propensity objective to talk for future providence targets as this program essential be believed for a transition stage.
In addition, we billboard no reference of the new amalgamated dirt bike power plant projects or new power plants that force hustle on imported arson fuels. Is this an feature of embassy shilly-shallying to bold these investments?
Untreated, due to the opposing belongings of natural gas and imported fuel prices in the worldwide central theme markets on the ever-growing "propensity announcement removal", gift is no reference of passage fluctuations.
The Government Relay has normal the enunciate of confidence in the Turkish Meeting on the 5th of September, 2014. We ask magnificent riches to our new, 62nd Government in attaining their "Verve" targets as well as in carrying out all other measures that shut in been mentioned in the tone.
