Regardless of the market models and the ownership structure, they have to be adequate for the continuity of the energy flow, the reliability of the power system and the quality of the energy supply. They have to be developed in parallel with the generation expansion in order to cope with the energy demand and to provide a sustainable service to the users and consumers. In this study, PSP practices of Turkey in TD have been investigated. In this respect; a general overview and historical background has been given in section two. The structural and regulatory aspects of PSP models in TD in the past and also after the reform have been explained in section three. It should be noted that, the PSP models used before the electricity market reform are also introduced in order to give information about different models. However, emphasis is given to the implementation of the recent PSP models. Results of implementation and problems are explained in sections four, five and six. Finally, conclusions, lessons learned and recommendations are discussed in section seven.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOPOWER GRIDRETAILINGTRANSMISSION CAPACITYNATURAL GASPOWER PLANTSPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONRETAIL COMPETITIONPRICE LEVELSPRICE INCREASESPLANT OWNERENERGY PRICESDISTRIBUTION FACILITIESGLOBAL KNOWLEDGESALESPOWER PLANTPOWER FLOWSDEMAND GROWTHVEHICLESACTIVITIESGENERATIONSUPPLIERELECTRICITY SYSTEMPOWER SYSTEMGRID CONNECTIONPOWER GRIDSIMAGECOPYRIGHTTRANSMISSIONELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTIONDISTRIBUTIONFAIRPRICINGENERGY GENERATIONGASPRICEPRICE CAPVOLTAGEELECTRICITY GENERATIONDISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITYTRANSMISSION SYSTEMTRANSMISSION FACILITIESPOWER SYSTEMELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONRETAILWASTEWATER TREATMENTDATAWASTEWATER TREATMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEFEASIBILITY STUDIESPOWER SYSTEMSTRANSMISSION FACILITIESPOWER GENERATIONMARKET REFORMENERGY SOURCESSUSTAINABLE ENERGYPOWER SECTORPRICING POLICYTHERMAL PLANTSPLANT OWNERENERGY SUPPLYTRANSMISSION GRIDELECTRIFICATIONOPTIONSWATERPOWER SECTORMONOPOLYDISTRIBUTION FACILITIESMARKET LIBERALIZATIONMARKETSDISTRIBUTION LOSSESELECTRICITY SUPPLYWHOLESALINGCONSULTANTSALES AGREEMENTPOLLUTIONREHABILITATION INVESTMENTSGRID CONNECTIONPOWER PLANT SITEENERGY SOURCESDISTRIBUTION NETWORKFEASIBILITY STUDIESTHERMAL POWERPOWER PLANT CONSTRUCTIONPOWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTSTHERMAL POWER PLANTPOWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTSTRANSMISSION CAPACITYPRICING MECHANISMPRICE CONTROLTRANSMISSION LINESTRANSMISSION GRIDBALANCERESULTSELECTRICITY DEMANDUTILITIESPRIMARY ENERGYVALUEPOWERELECTRICITYDEMANDPRICE REGULATIONHYDROPOWERENERGY GENERATIONELECTRICITY GENERATIONCONSUMER PRICEEXPENDITURESPOWER GRIDCOST OF ENERGYSALEPRIVATE SECTORCOST OF ENERGYINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYDEMAND GROWTHMARKETTRANSMISSION SYSTEMGRID ELECTRICITYDISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITYENERGY PRICESPRIMARY ENERGYPOWER GENERATIONTHERMAL POWER PLANTBIDDINGELECTRICITY PRICESDISTRIBUTION LOSSESENERGY DEMANDNATURAL GASDISTRIBUTION GRIDTRANSMISSION LINEINVESTMENTPRICE REGULATIONCOALTARIFFELECTRICITY SUPPLYENERGY MANAGEMENTSUPPLYDISTRIBUTION NETWORKPOWER PLANTSDEMAND FORECASTAVAILABILITYFACILITIESELECTRIC TRANSMISSIONTHERMAL PLANTSINVESTMENTSCONSUMER PRICE INDEXMARKET REFORMTRANSMISSION LINEPRICE CONTROLSUPPLIERSELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTIONTHERMAL POWERPRICE INDEXELECTRIC TRANSMISSIONPOWER FLOWSENERGY COSTSTRANSMISSION LINESPRICESPOWER SYSTEMSAPPROACHGRID ELECTRICITYELECTRICAL POWERPOWER PLANTDISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITYSUBSTATION EQUIPMENTENERGYDISTRIBUTION GRIDCOMPETITIONReportWorld Bank10.1596/23615
