Simple solutions are enough to unlock the potential

The report argues that implementing straightforward regulatory changes could unlock at least 8 GW of hybrid power potential in Türkiye. Key recommendations include removing the 100 MW capacity cap, eliminating the requirement for hybrid projects to be physically adjacent to the primary plant site, and establishing clear numerical targets and transparent data reporting for hybrid installations.

• Implementing straightforward steps to address challenges for hybrid plants could realize at least 8 GW of potential in a short timeframe.
• Hybrid power plants can bypass grid connection constraints in Türkiye because they utilize the same transmission lines as their primary source, eliminating the need for additional grid investments.
• Current regulations cap hybrid capacity at 100 MW regardless of the plant's installed capacity, though this rule was ceased for wind power plants as of October 2022. Removing this cap would allow investors to determine additional capacity, with grid overload managed through curtailment or penalties.
• The requirement for hybrid projects to be physically integrated within the primary plant site is a major obstacle, often leading to conflicts with restricted agricultural or forest lands, particularly for hydroelectric plants requiring permits from the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ).
• While hybrid plants are included in Türkiye's 2053 targets, there is a lack of clear numerical targets and accessible installed capacity data for hybrid plants compared to other energy sources.
