ABSTRACT THE EFFECT OF INCENTIVE POLICIES IN TURKEY ON RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSUMPTION: AN EVALUATION SPECIFIC TO SELECTED COUNTRIES Kevser CİHAN Master Thesis FIRAT UNIVERSITY Graduate School of Social Sciences DEPARTMAN OF ECONOMICS Economy Program August- 2024, Page: IX + 91 As a result of the rapid development of growth all over the world, the growth in many sectors such as the incoming technology and the industrial sector has created a need for energy. Since fossil fuels cannot renew themselves and are in danger of extinction in order to be distributed widely around the world, it has been left to energy sources that can replace themselves. It is very important to take advantage of this resource to meet the energy needs. Turkey is a country with a very high potential in terms of resources due to its location. However, it seems that the potential is not used enough for the resources in lower countries. This continues to be examined by evaluating the reduction of incentive policies in Turkey specifically for countries devoted to energy consumption (Brazil, India, China, the USA and Germany). This literary achievement first captured a comprehensive view of divided energy. In this title, the definition and sources of energy are explained in detail. The division of the second part is characterized by various subheadings on energy-related topics. In the third part, the potentials of Turkey and selected countries (Brazil, India, China, USA and Germany) were identified. Finally, in the fourth chapter, Turkey's SWOT Analysis was made in terms of energy policies and compared with selected countries (Brazil, India, China, USA and Germany). With this result, independent incentive policies were implemented and it was observed that different results were encountered. Key Words: Energy, energy policies, renewable energy sources, tax incentives, tax incentives for separable energy in Turkey, separable energy policy of Brazil, India, China, USA and Germany
