Abstract

Natural gas is a strategic sector for Turkey and its control, which has been mandated by the state for so long, is shifting. Due to the sector’s direct and indirect impacts on economic/social development and growth, the issue of how to restructure the Turkish gas market by reducing, if not fully removing, the dominance of the state monopolist, BOTASṃ, and how to handle the concerns regarding the structural changes being imposed on BOTASṃ such as splitting down its activities into different legal entities remains one of the main interests of the Turkish regulators and the policymakers. Clearly, the participation of private and foreign suppliers in the Turkish gas supply chain poses commercial risks and challenges for BOTASṃ, and a new roadmap for creating stimulated import prices with marked reductions; developing infrastructure for imports, transmission, storage and distribution; and setting appropriate tariffs for the use of different components of gas infrastructure holds crucial importance in the time of the reforms and market developments in Turkey designed to encourage all market players.

Fußnoten
1
The participants identified as stakeholders taking an active part in the Turkish gas market (namely EMRA, BOTAŞ and private companies).
 
2
It is left to the discretion of distributors to require switching customers to replace their existing meters with remote reading meters to make instant information flow reachable in real time.
 
3
Between April 2009 and February 2013, shippers were exposed to pressure-related penalties 198 times and its cost to private sector was TRY111.4 million in total (PETFORM DIVID, 2013).
 
4
Starting from the national entry points and finishing at the domestic exit points (determined as per Standard Transportation Contracts).
 
5
In the event that customers’ gas suppliers fail to maintain normal conditions of gas supply, the designated Supplier or the SoLR ensure(s) continuity of gas supply for non-domestic and domestic customers connected to the gas network (Utility Regulator 2012).
 
6
Based on the High Planning Council Decision No. 2008/T-5 “Procedures and Principles of Cost Based Pricing Mechanism to be Applied by the State Economic Enterprises of Energy” to be effective from 1 July 2008.
 
7
For example, the Dutch local Groningen sales contracts in return for a substantial capacity charge payable regardless of the gas consumed and UK high-swing contracts from the fields developed for seasonal supply (Melling 2010, 128).
 
8
It is highlighted by the interviewees that despite the 30-year underground natural gas storage licence issued by EMRA to Bendis Enerji on 2 February 2014 towards the Tarsus UGS project no nail has been pounded to the project as of 2019 and it’s not clear whether the project will be realised.
 
9
This can be subject to another criticism that BOTAŞ still classifies the customer groups based on their use of gas being more or less than 300,000 m3 although the eligibility levels, as of 2018, are reduced to 75,000 m3.
 
10
On 24 November 2015, Turkey shot down a Russian warplane in response to violation of its airspace, whereas Russia said the plane was over Syria. See http://​www.​bbc.​co.​uk/​news/​world-middle-east-34912581 [accessed on 9 April 2019].
 
11
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
 
12
Legal unbundling is yet to be realised at the time of writing.
 
13
Due to their first mover advantage in the international market.
 
14
Or, phrased differently, their (zero) marginal cost does not reflect the total cost for the purchase of gas.
 
15
Distribution system operators are generally responsible for metering their customers’ consumption, and therefore in competitive markets often have a vital role in ensuring the availability of accurate consumption data and in ensuring a smooth customer transfer between suppliers (Energy Sector Inquiry 2007, 234).
 
16
Which is still a gap in the legislation of Turkey.
