Energy has been among the most basic needs of humanity throughout history. The use of fossil fuels, which found mass and intense consumption especially with the increasing population and the beginning of the industrial revolution, has continued to increase until today. In addition to serious problems such as environmental problems, climate crisis, and climate migration, it has been proven by scientific data that fossil resources may become depleted in the near future. Countries are turning to renewable energy sources in order to reduce the negative effects of fossil resources. Countries that turn to renewable energy sources in energy use will reduce their dependence on fossil resources and at the same time diversify their domestic energy supply. Production from renewable energy sources is carried out through renewable energy systems and facilities. Although there is a significant decrease in the costs of electricity production from renewable energy, especially in solar and wind energy, it is not yet cheaper than the cost of electricity production from fossil fuels. Although various incentives are implemented in Türkiye, as in the world, the adequacy of these incentives should be examined. In this thesis study, the renewable energy incentive mechanisms applied in the world and in Türkiye were examined specifically for solar and wind energy and evaluated from the perspective of international law and Turkish law. Energy has been among the most basic needs of humanity throughout history. The use of fossil fuels, which found mass and intense consumption especially with the increasing population and the beginning of the industrial revolution, has continued to increase until today. In addition to serious problems such as environmental problems, climate crisis, and climate migration, it has been proven by scientific data that fossil fuels may become depleted in the near future. Countries have been following strategies to increase the use of renewable energy sources in order to reduce the negative effects of fossil fuels. Countries that achieve to increase the use of renewable energy sources in energy usage will reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and at the same time diversify their domestic energy supply. Production from renewable energy sources is carried out through renewable energy systems and installations. Although there has been a significant decrease in the cost of electricity production from renewable energy, especially solar and wind energy, it is not yet cheaper than the cost of electricity production from fossil fuels. Various support schemes are implemented in Turkey, as the other countries also have, the efficiency of these support schemes in Turkey should be reviewed. This thesis examines the renewable energy support schemes adopted in the world and in Turkey, in particular in solar and wind energy and reviews the current regulations from the perspective of international law and Turkish law.
