Türkiye’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) is lowering the grid fee for first-generation unlicensed solar power plants that came into operation before 2019 following the expiration of their ten-year feed-in tariff.
According to a document on the country’s official journal, the fee will be applied at TRY 0.656 ($0.014)/kWh, down from a prior TRY 2.081/kWh, representing a reduction of 68%.
Unlicensed solar power plants in Türkiye are primarily designed for self-consumption up to a 5 MW limit with the potential to feed excess electricity back to the grid via net-metering. They make up the majority of Türkiye’s operational solar fleet, with data from national transmission system operator TEİAS highlighting that unlicensed solar accounted for over 22 GW of the almost 25 GW of solar added in Türkiye by the end of last year, including over 4.1 GW installed last year alone.
