In our Grant and Investment Incentive Supports blog series, we focus exclusively on the incentive mechanisms available for SPP and energy efficiency investments, explaining them in a clear and simple way. This article addresses the “Energy Efficiency” Priority Investment Incentive Application. Detailed articles on each incentive system can be found under our Investment Incentive Supports section.

In our previous article, Your SPP Investments Within the General Incentive Scope, we highlighted how SPP investments are conditional under the incentive system. However, when it comes to renewable energy and energy efficiency, the range of incentives expands significantly.

 

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ALTERNATIVE ENERGY INVESTMENTS ARE COVERED BY BOTH REGIONAL AND PRIORITY INCENTIVES!

 

Before we get into examples, we first need to understand the concepts of the Regional Incentive System and Minimum Investment Amount.

The Regional Incentive System is defined as follows: in Regional Incentive Applications, the supported sectors in each province are determined by considering the province’s potential and economic scale. The intensity of support is differentiated according to the level of development of the regions.

The minimum fixed investment amount is defined as:

• In Regions 1 and 2: minimum 3 million TL

• In other regions: minimum 1.5 million TL
  It is applied separately for each supported sector and province.

Under the Regional Incentive Applications, sectors determined by province in the annex of the Decree may benefit from the supports listed in the table, provided they meet the minimum capacity or investment thresholds. The details of these supports are given in our article SPP and Energy Investment Incentive Supports.

 

Priority Investment Incentives

According to the amendments (Official Gazette: 9/5/2014-28995; 5/10/2016-29848; 21/8/2020-31220), except for those listed under “Non-Incentivized Investments” in Annex-4, energy efficiency investments carried out in existing manufacturing facilities with an annual minimum energy consumption of 500 TOE (tons of oil equivalent), which achieve at least 15% energy savings compared to current consumption, and approved by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, are considered Priority Investments.

 

Which Energy Investments Fall Within This Incentive Scope?

• Roof Renovations

• Insulation Works (for all or part of the facility)

• Replacement of Machinery with Energy-Saving Equipment

• IT System Rooms

• Energy Control and Management Systems

• Waste Management Solutions

…and many more depending on the characteristics of your investment.

The key point: for your energy costs, you must focus on renewable energy sources and ensure the efficiency and/or control of your current energy consumption.

The application process is carried out entirely online through the E-TUYS system.
