The Strategic Importance of Green Energy in Energy Management

Abstract

The aim of this study is to address the importance of strategic energy management in order to ensure the transition of Turkey, a country that is trying to end its dependence on energy, to green energy using renewable energy sources. With the excessive use of nonrenewable energy sources by Turkey, in order to reduce environmental pollution and foreign dependency in energy, it started studies to increase the use of domestic and renewable energy resources in the early 2000s. With the transition to renewable energy sources as a new concept in Turkey's energy policy “green energy,” it has come to the fore. With the transition to green energy, Turkey is trying to prevent pollution of the environment by reducing fossil fuel consumption and aims to reduce energy costs by reducing the use of energy sources that cannot be renewed in production. Turkey, a country rich in renewable energy sources, will be able to use existing renewable energy sources effectively and efficiently using strategic management in energy.
