Editorial New Developments in Our Energy World Are Hopeful We are very much proud of seeing how fast and how perfect ICCI Conferences are growing. The Conferences which are supported with the exhibition creates the best view of an "ENERGY TECHNO PARK". This conference demonstrates clearly where we are on the way of the development. If you want to see an example, Turkey's energy consumption per capita is stili 1 .45 Tep and only electricity consumption is 2900 kWh/capita. The both statistics mean that, we are at 1/3'd of the world average yet. That's why the growth of electricity in Turkey was 8% in 201 0, compared with the previous year (2009). That's also why 2800 MW new power capacity has been put into operation in 2010. Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) has published its annual report (2010) recently. According co this report: • 1024 power production licenses are certified up to now • Installed power capacity at tl1e System, is reached to 49500MW • Among 1024 licenses, the majority belong to Hydro power plants. • EMRA and TEIAS jointly evaluate tl1e license applications of wind power plants. They jointly announce the international tender for tl1e big wind projects. The highest bid as wind fee per kwh becomes winner. We believe that the way of tender will open ilie way which was blocked since 1st November 2007. There are otl1er promising progresses on tl1e legislative frame work: • The revision of the draft of Renewable Energy based production was enacted by the Turkish Parliament on 29tl1.december.2010. This law also covers the incentive tables foreseen for the different type of renewables and differences upon the share of local manufacturing. • Other important developmenc is 2010 is ilie regulation of "Unlicensed Power Production". But we understand that some clauses of this regulation will be revised in line with later law of Nr 6094, which is issued on 29.12.201O. There are other developments in an Energy World: -Almost 95%-of the Privatization of-the Electrici:ty Distribution Regions have been implemenced. Summaries • The privatization process of EUAS old power plants (coal, lignite or natura! gas fining) have started. • Since 2 years, natura! gas prices are being at its reasonable level. We hope and wish that this reasonable price level will be kept in the next years. Actual 17'h ıccı 2011 Conference and Exhibition The 17'ı, of the ICCI Conference and Exhibition will be held witl1 enhanced concent, as Energy and Environmencal Technology Systems Fair and Conference at Istanbul Expo Center on June 15-1617, 2011. In addition to the Miniscry of Energy and Natura! Resources, and the l\ılinistry of Environment and Forestry, the most important associations of the industry such as ehe Turkey Cogeneration Association, Electricity Generation Companies Association (EÜD), Wind Energy Plants Investors Associations (RESYAD), Hydroelectricity Plants Industrial Businessmen Association (HESİAD), Regional Environment Center, ASME and Cogen Europe will support the ICCI 2011 as usual. The ICCI 2011 Exhibition and Conference will present a general outlook on the energy sector worldwide and in Turkey, and accordingly, issues such as Liberalisation and Re-structuring in Energy, Offer and Demand Projections, EU Energy Policies, as well as technical matters such like Cogeneration, High Efficiency Energy Generation Technologies, Energy Planc Operations, Renewable Energy, Waste Management, Recycling Systems, Environmencal Technologies will be dealt witl1 botl1 in national and international scale. Synergy Match During ICCI 2011, B2B Meetings are going to be held in cooperation wiili Istanbul Chamber of Industry and EEN - Enterprise Europe Network Istanbul. ICCI Incernational Energy and Environmenc Fair and Conference as the only platform in Turkey, harmonising and presenting fairs and conferences evaluating energy and environment in parallel is realizing a first with a brand new concept in the world and is providing not only fair and conference but also B2B Meetings at the comfortable medium of Istanbul Expo Center. As a result of the fair and the B2B Meetings to be realized, 1 billion USD worth business is expected. ENERJi DÜNYASI MAYIS-HAZIRAN 2011 1 1 9
