Summaries Editorial We Are Not Able To Enact The Renewable Energy lncentıves, Instead Let Us Give You Natural Gas Nowadays, energy related things went great. Natural gas prices were declining. Balancing and Stabilization System was working too good to be true. Increasing price of electricity is encouraging new investrnents. Everybody were waiting the opening of the Turkish Parliament with a great appetite. In early October, everything became up site down with the Renewable Energy Conference, where the l\ılinister of Energy has declared the reluct.'illce of the Ministry, foıwarding the revised draft of Incentives Law to the Parliament. Something were wrong in the Energy Policy: ■ New Expansion to the settlement of armenian confüct was causing tl1e price increase of natural gas imported from Azerbaijan, ■ Russiawas speeding up the "South Stream" as a courıter part of Nabucco, leading by Botaş, ■ Contract related oil and gas investigation and exploration in South Pars Region in Iran, was causing to anotl1er confüct with USA. Despite tl1ese cloudy appearance, there were some good development in our energy world. According to Dr. Birol briefuıg which was presented in Sabancı Center on 1 o u , of december, gasification of shale rock in USA and success reached in tl1e production cost was encouraging. Such law price stopped the construction of LNG gasification facilities in the States. These news have caused the declining of gas prices world wide. In tl1e States, gas prices came down from 6-7 $ per million BTU to 4.7 $. In Europe, gas price has tendency to decline to 180$ per 1000111 3 from 210$. We were expecting Botaş to learn lessons from these developments, in gas business and to take the following measures: ■ To review ali gas purchasing contracts, ■ To deliver the cheap gas to electricity producers. Thus, to be released from "take - or - pay" obligation. If these measures are operated successfully, the following scenario will not be surprise. Energy Auiliorities (Decision Makers), as if, are addressing to Electricity Producers: "We are very much confused to fail in enacting renewable tariffs from tl1e Parliament. Instead, !et us give you me cheap gas in an abU11dant quantity. Generate as much electricit:y you could do. If short coming of electricity restarts, come to us, j ointly, we can ignite tl1e enacting operation of tl1e new incentives for renewable energy." 80 ENERJi DÜNYASI KASIM•ARALIK2009 Actuel The Route of Energy Effıciency to be set on 13 January 2010 . . . . ... . . . .. ................ . .. . . . . . . .... . . . . .. 22 The activities of me 29th Energy Efficiency Week will be me meeting platform for ali sectors.
