Turkey’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) has revised the procedures and principles regarding support for research, development, and innovation (R&D and ÜR-GE) activities undertaken by electricity and natural gas distribution companies. The changes aim to foster greater innovation within the energy sector. Specifically, the amendments concern the regulations surrounding how these utilities are incentivized to invest in R&D. Details of the modifications were not immediately released, but the EPDK indicated the changes are designed to streamline the support process. This move is expected to encourage companies to pursue new technologies and improve energy distribution efficiency. The revisions are considered part of a broader effort to modernize Turkey’s energy infrastructure and increase its competitiveness.
