In Turkey, current energy generations are not sufficient for the existing energy needs and besides, energy demand is expected to increase by 4–6 percent annually until 2023. Therefore, the government aims to increase the ratio of renewable energy resources (RES) in total installed capacity to 30 percent by 2023. By this date, total energy investments are expected to be approximately $110 billion. Turkey is the fastest growing energy market among the OECD countries. Therefore, Turkey is an attractive market for energy companies and investors. At this stage, site selection and deciding appropriate RES are the most important feasibility parameters for investment. In this study, “Site Selection in Turkey” issue for RES (solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass) is evaluated by the ELECTRE which is one of the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. In addition, the reasons for choosing this method are explained according to the literature. The study emphasizes the importance of energy generation from renewable and sustainable sources and is concerned with improving the position of the country. The Turkish government offers many purchasing guarantees and high incentives, especially in the renewable energy sector. As a result of the analysis, the most suitable energy sources are presented according to the geography and energy potential of the regions. The study aims to inform energy firms and everyone related with RES about Turkey’s RES opportunities.

“…For these models nine factors as inputs and one factor as output were used. These factors have been discussed by Sözen et al (2015) as important parameters in selecting location of solar plants. As can be seen in Table 4 and Table 5 the results from CCR, BCC, KAM models by the SFA models are different.…”

Exponential development of solar photovoltaic projects during the past decades has vastly relied on findings from location identification analyses. This article draws upon the most important site selection factors in order to identify optimum locations for development of solar plants in Turkey from a subset of thirty selected Turkish cities. This study applies CCR, BCC, stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and Kourosh and Arash Model (KAM) methods in decisionmaking. KAM method is a new powerful technique in measuring efficiency of firms (DMUs) and has obtained an important role in economy and managements. It also benefits from the novelty of using copula technique in the SFA methods which has been only recently presented to the literature.

“…Amy H. I. Lee et al [14] integrated MCDM model to set the assurance region (AR) of the quantitative factors, and the AR is incorporated into data envelopment analysis (DEA), additionally adopting a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) for the location of a PV solar plant. Adnan Sozen et al [15] presented an approach for the location of solar plants by data envelopment analysis (DEA). Ali Azadeh et al [16] presented an integrated fuzzy DEA model for decision making on wind plant locations.…”

Following the recent development trend in the struggle for cleaning the earth’s environment, solar is the one of most promising area that can partially be used as a replaceable energy from non-renewable fuel sources. As such, it plays a significant role in protecting the environment from global warming. As solar power does not emit harmful gases into the atmosphere, its production, distribution, setup, and operation are vital should the production remain constant. Even solar energy waste emissions are small; when compared to current energy sources, the amount of harmful gases is negligible. This paper presented an integrated approach for site of solar plants by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP). Furthermore, these integrated methodologies, incorporated with the most relevant parameters of requirements for solar plants, are introduced. First, the paper considers an integrated hierarchical DEA and FANP model for the optimal geographical location of solar plants in Mekong Delta Region, Vietnam. Using the proposed model for implementation would allow the renewable energy policy makers to select and control the optimal location for allocating and constructing a solar energy power plant in Vietnam. This is the preferred strategy for location optimization problems associated with solar plant units in Vietnam and around the world.
