Provincial Energy Balance Analysis: Karabük Sample

Abstract

The purpose of this study; to reveal the energy supply-demand balance of the Karabük province, to evaluate their overall trends and the share of brown and green energy in the balance and to create an energy flowchart. Karabük province has an installed capacity of 122 MW with 4 licensed and 1 unlicensed power plants. It is carried out about 530 GWh of electricity generation annually. With this generation, 45% of own electricity consumption can be met. Ratio of Karabük electricity installed capacity to installed capacity of Turkey is 0.17%, it's ratio is 0.21% to consumption in Turkey. While share in the total installed capacity of renewable energy is 58.8%, the share in total energy generation is 32%. Karabük haven't energy resources however, fossil fuel consumption is also very high. Province of Karabük is characterized by a heavy exploitation of non-domestic energy resources. Karabük does not have sufficient energy sources. Effective energy efficiency programs and renewable energy can reduce country's reliance on non-domestic energy sources.
