BACKGROUND Turkey made significant progress in setting up the legislative framework to promote energy efficiency, including the 2007 Energy Efficiency Law, the 2012 National Energy Efficiency Strategy, and secondary legislation. Based on this framework, priorities have been given to improve energy efficiency (EE) in industry. However, the dissemination of the efforts and outputs of EE deeply needs concerted efforts covering all industries, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that form the bulk of industrial enterprises in Turkey. Various policy, capacity, technology and financing barriers still stand in the way of the widespread adoption of energy-efficient processes and technologies. The main strategy of the “Improving Energy Efficiency in Industry (IEEI) in Turkey” project is to help remove mentioned barriers. The GEF funding has been provided to undertake capacity building and to develop and implement enhanced financial tools and technical mechanisms program that will help transform the Turkish industrial sector to a new more energy efficient way of operating. There is clearly significant potential to achieve energy savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector in Turkey. The IEEI project is implemented through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), with the financial support of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and is under the execution of the General Directorate of Renewable Energy (YEGM) of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. Project partners include the Small and Medium-Size Enterprises Development Organization (KOSGEB), Turkish Standards Institute (TSE), and the Technological Development Foundation of Turkey (TTGV). The project aims to improve energy efficiency in Turkish industry by encouraging industrial enterprises to implement effective energy management systems, utilizing both energy efficiency management practices and the enhanced uptake of energy efficient technologies. After the enactment of the Energy Efficiency Law (EEL) in 2007, a high priority was to establish an ESCO (Energy Service Companies) market in Turkey. With the adoption of the EEL, only the certified companies will be considered as an ESCO and the ESCOs are authorized for EE auditing, and training and consulting activities in the industrial and buildings sectors. This type of certified ESCOs were defined by the EEL as “energy efficiency consultancy (EVD) companies”. Within the scope of the legislation, EVD companies are expected to play a critical role for marketizing the EE studies by organizing trainings, undertaking energy audits, developing projects and financing investments.
