“Due to its fast growth and increasing energy demand, Turkey is a highly attractive market for solar power”, commented Klaus Gehrlicher, CEO of Gehrlicher Solar. “The Turkish government acted thoughtful and forward-looking when creating a feed-in tariff which allows interesting investments in renewable energies, but which is at the same time very close to the general electricity tariff. These are ideal preconditions for a reasonable and sustainable market growth.”
