In addition to providing the minimum efficiency and power/heat ratio specified in the Commu-
niqué on the Procedures and Principles Regarding the Calculation of the Efficiency of Cogene-
ration and Microcogeneration Facilities, the facilities are required to save at least 10 per cent of
primary energy resources. The total electrical installed capacity of the facilities for which Coge-
neration Facility Efficiency Certificate is issued is 687 MWe and thermal installed capacity is 732
MWt. With these facilities, 3,537 GWh of primary energy resources will be saved annually. Within
the scope of Phase 3 of the ongoing Türkiye-Denmark Strategic Sector Cooperation Energy Pro-
ject on “Efficient and Low Carbon Heating and Cooling”, it is planned to prepare templates for
national and local heat plans for the development of efficient and low carbon heating and co-
oling in Türkiye, to develop capacity through case studies and to update the heat maps created
in previous phases. As one of the case studies, Parmakören District Heating System Feasibility
Study is being carried out in Kütahya Municipality.

Furthermore, in the Türkiye Heat Pump Market Assessment Project financed by the World Bank
Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP), a Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) based ground source heat pump potential map will be produced and evaluated together
with other clean energy alternatives. With the studies carried out for the heating and cooling
sector, it is aimed to reduce energy intensity and thus greenhouse gas emissions associated
with energy consumption. In the short and medium term, it is aimed to establish the legislative
infrastructure especially for district heating/cooling and heat pumps and to increase exemplary
practices.

With the understanding that the cheapest energy is saved energy, energy efficiency investments
are supported by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources through the Efficiency Improve-
ment Project (VAP) and Voluntary Agreement (GA) grant programmes and by the Ministry of
Industry and Technology within the scope of fifth region incentives with the aim of replacing
inefficient equipment with efficient ones, raising the level of energy efficiency awareness and
technological development and increasing energy efficiency practices.

y Within the scope of VAP, approximately 513 Million TRY support payments were made for
532 projects completed in accordance with the implementation project from 2009 to 2023,
and the total investment amount of the projects is 129 Million TRY. As a result of the imp-
lementation of these projects, 118,325 TEP energy and approximately 842 Million TRY mo-
netary savings were achieved annually. It is estimated that approximately 174 Million TRY
support payments will be made for 295 ongoing projects and the total investment amount
for the implementation of the projects is 578 Million TRY. With the implementation of these
projects, it is expected that approximately 37,015 TEP energy and 221 Million TRY monetary
savings will be achieved annually. In addition, in order to increase the efficiency of the effi-
ciency-enhancing project support programme and to expand its scope, amendments were
made to the Energy Efficiency Law No. 5627 with the Law No. 7501 on Amendments to the
Mining Law and Certain Laws, which entered into force after being published in the Offici-
al Gazette dated 11/05/2024 and numbered 32543. With the arrangement made, sectoral
restrictions for those who want to benefit from efficiency-enhancing project supports have
been removed and with a general and inclusive approach, real and legal persons operating
in all sectors from energy production to final consumption have been given the opportunity
to apply for supports.
