Abstract

On the basis of an econometric model developed in Fatih Birol's An Economic Energy Demand Model for Turkey in Transitional Period from Traditional to Industrial Stage (dissertation, Technical U of Vienna, 1989), the projected energy needs of Turkey in 2004 are calculated. Prospects for meeting this demand given the need to respect environmental constraints are considered in a multiple criteria decision-making approach, geared toward developing a multiple objective clean electricity production model for Turkey. Results indicate that a much smaller proportion of Turkey's energy needs will have to be met by lignite & other coal-based power plants than predicted by the Turkish Electrical Authority, while a larger proportion is assigned to hydroelectric & natural gas plants. 1 Table, 2 Figures, 17 References.
