Editorial Is Renewable Energy Law To Be Renewed? ----------- 2 Nowadays, MENR speeds up the revision of the Renewable Energy Law. As a ınatter of fact, the subject law was born "death" due to the many uncertainties, creating hesitations in the implementations. The biggest burden was the price of electricity (feed-in-tariff). Is it 5.0 eurocent/kWh or 5.5 eurocent/k\'v'h? Nobody can answer it clearly. Today we are so ımıch happy that, MENR has concentrated 011 the preparatio11 of the improved draft Law for re11ewables. In that respect, our Association TURKOTED, 011 behalf of our members, is pleased to submit its views and comments as follows: The lise of feed-i11-tariffs specified for each source of E11ergy should be attached to the draft as ehe integral part of the Law. Loca] rna11ufacturing should be co11sidered as the preferred option and should be additio11ally supported with a bo11us (i.e. 2 eurocent/kWh). TEDAS (Public Electricity Distributio11 Company) should give priority to the grid con11ectio11 to the power generated by renewable energy. DSI (Public Water Works) should start again the applications to "water utilization rights". Feed-in-tariffs and/or incentives for city wastes to Energy or biomass to Energy must meet the high investment costs. High efficiency cogeneration pla11ts (over 80%) should be accepted as clean energy producing facilities and deserve of YEK certificates.
