Turkey has developed into one of the fastest-growing energy
markets and is rapidly establishing a competitive market structure.
According to estimates by the Turkish Electricity Transmission
Company, the demand for electricity in Turkey will increase by six
per cent per year between 2009 and 2023. The total level of
investment required to cover the energy demand in Turkey up to 2023
has been estimated at around 130 billion US dollars
(www.invest.gov.tr, 5.7.2013.). The planned energy stock exchange
EPIAS underlines the importance of Turkey as an energy hub: "The
establishment of a Turkish energy stock exchange is decisively
important for the liberalisation and growth of the electricity
market," explained Metin Kilci, Undersecretary, Ministry of Energy
and Natural Resources, on the occasion of the agreement between the
European Energy Exchange (EEX) and the Turkish network provider
Teias. The establishment of the energy stock exchange EPIAS - planned
for the end of 2014 - offers numerous investment opportunities in
Turkey. It will require management and IT solutions, for example, in
the areas of energy portfolio optimisation, data procurement and
evaluation or the forecasting and modelling of processes. As a result
of its advancing liberalisation, the Turkish energy market is also
becoming increasingly interesting for international investors.

The "All Energy Turkey" (AET) congress trade fair (11 and 12
September 2013, Istanbul) will focus on topics dealing with the
energy market and energy trade. Alongside trade, marketing and sales,
the accompanying workshops at the trade fair will cover themes such
as the legal framework in the energy sector, risk and portfolio
management, market regulation, prices and the design of the market
for the wholesale trade in energy. In addition, "All Energy Turkey"
will focus on the fundamentals of energy trade, the role of Turkey as
an energy hub between Europe and the Middle East, the establishment
of EPIAS, the interaction between regional energy providers and their
service providers, and the advancing privatisation process in the
electricity and gas sectors. Read more: http://bit.ly/1dPc63a
