Abstract

International economic competition is forcing countries for improving their technology. The main elements are knowledge and R&D for countries technological developments. However, the impulsion of development is “energy”. In this context, energy consumption is a one of the pointer for determine to development level of a country. Renewable energies are main sources of our energy consumption; the amounts of finite energy sources are decreasing so that countries are choosing renewable energy, especially in last 10-15 years. In this frame, renewable energy sources will have important potential for energy consumption in a near future. Renewable energy sources have huge advantages, such as not harming the environment, no risk on running out, able to produce with local resources on micro level, less dependency to out, without problem of supply-transport and demand security. In this study, renewable energy sources are firstly review on globally and also particularly Turkey taken in hand for potential analysis of natural energy. In this case, requirement is a new “strategy and policy of energy diversification”.
