The Turkish government has been formulating policy changes to encourage solar generation, not necessarily only because it is the most environmental-friendly electricity generation system but also (and moreso) because of its need to diversify its energy portfolio, currently dependent primarily on fossil fuel.

  Unlicensed Solar Electricity Generation

Although the rule is to obtain an electricity generation license from the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (“EMRA”) to generate electricity, various generation facilities are exempt from the obligation to obtain any licenses (whether a pre-license or a generation license) from EMRA, and various activities are also not required to be conducted by a legal entity.
