    A 'regional Energy Hub' for Achieving a Low-Carbon Energy Transition
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Güler, Burak; Çelebi, Emre; Nathwani, Jatin; 01. Kadir Has University
    The transition to a low-carbon energy economy will remain a cornerstone of national energy policies of countries committed to the climate change accord for decades to come. We think that transmission investment is one key policy instrument amongst other to help with this transition. We propose an enhanced role for investing in transmission capacity for inter-regional trade to allow effective fuel switching among countries through a physically connected market. We develop a conceptual framework of "Regional Energy Hubs" and propose a cost minimization model in support of a transmission investment strategy that integrates: (i) a key geopolitical parameter for countries that are geographically close in a region but under different political jurisdictions, judged as stable and receptive to firm trading arrangements, (ii) an economic parameter related to the fuel mix where the differences in a country's supply and demand characteristics are significant enough for allow mutual benefits to be realized through cost reduction, (iii) an environmental parameter linked to a country's carbon intensity that could benefit from the resources of a neighboring jurisdiction with lower intensities, and (iv) a financial parameter for each country within a region capable of attracting investment capital. A connected 'Regional Energy Hub' offers large economic and environmental benefit for transition to a low-carbon energy economy.

    Turkish Public Preferences for Energy
    (Elsevier Science, 2018) Ediger, Volkan S.; Kirkil, Gökhan; Çelebi, Emre; Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Kentmen-Cin, Çiğdem; Economics; Industrial Engineering; Civil Engineering; 03.

    Public concern over energy supplies prices sustainability and efficiency has emerged as a major issue around the world. Yet most of what we know regarding public opinion on energy comes from North America and Europe. This paper presents the results from the 2016 Turkish Public Preferences for Energy Survey which included 1204 respondents and examined Turkish residents' household energy consumption energy policy preferences and environmental concerns. The main findings were that Turkish citizens consider natural gas and electricity highly expensive view dependence on imported energy as Turkey's most pressing energy challenge and recognize the problem of climate change. This lends public support for wind and solar power but at the same time energy issues and the environment policies of political parties do not affect voting choices and political preferences.
