Energy Storage License Applications in Turkey: EMRA Requirements and Legal Process (2026)

Complete 2026 guide to energy storage license applications in Turkey. Learn about standalone storage facilities, storage-integrated solar and wind projects, EMRA preliminary licenses, generation and supply licenses, grid connection, permits, guarantees, foreign investment rules, and appeal remedies.

Electricity storage has become a central part of Turkey’s energy-transition strategy. Battery energy storage systems can support the integration of solar and wind generation, improve grid flexibility, reduce curtailment, provide balancing capacity, and create new commercial opportunities for energy investors.

For foreign investors, however, establishing an energy storage project in Turkey requires more than purchasing batteries and securing a site. The correct regulatory route depends on whether the storage facility will be:

• Integrated into a licensed electricity generation facility
• Developed together with a new solar or wind power project
• Established as a standalone electricity storage facility
• Added to an existing generation license
• Used within an unlicensed self-consumption project
• Operated for balancing, aggregation, supply, or ancillary-service purposes

Each structure may involve different licensing, amendment, grid-connection, metering, market-participation, and technical requirements.

Turkey’s principal storage framework is based on Electricity Market Law No. 6446, the Electricity Market Licensing Regulation, the Regulation on Storage Activities in the Electricity Market, the Electricity Grid Regulation, EMRA decisions, and technical criteria issued by the Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation, commonly known as TEİAŞ.

As a general licensing principle, electricity generation requires a preliminary license followed by a generation license, unless the project falls within a statutory exemption. EMRA describes the preliminary license as the limited-term authorisation enabling a legal entity to obtain the permits, approvals, land rights, and similar authorisations necessary before construction and licensing.

This guide explains the 2026 legal framework, application routes, required documents, project-development obligations, and principal risks affecting foreign investors seeking to develop energy storage facilities in Turkey.

What Is an Electricity Storage Facility?

An electricity storage facility receives electrical energy from the grid or a generation facility, stores that energy in another form, and later converts it back into electricity for use or injection into the system.

The most common technology is battery energy storage, particularly lithium-ion systems. Other technologies may include:

• Pumped-storage systems
• Flow batteries
• Thermal storage
• Compressed-air storage
• Flywheels
• Hydrogen-based systems
• Alternative electrochemical technologies

The regulatory classification depends not only on the technology but also on the project’s connection point, ownership structure, associated license, and market purpose.

Main Energy Storage Models in Turkey

Foreign investors should identify the correct project model before preparing an EMRA application.

Storage-Integrated Generation Facility

A storage unit may be physically and operationally integrated into a licensed electricity generation facility.

This structure may involve:

• A new generation project developed with storage
• Storage added to an existing licensed power plant
• Storage associated with a solar or wind facility
• Storage integrated into a hybrid or auxiliary-source project

The storage unit is generally treated as part of the wider generation project and reflected in the preliminary license or generation license.

Storage-Integrated Solar and Wind Projects

Turkey introduced a special investment framework allowing investors undertaking electricity storage commitments to apply for solar or wind generation projects under the licensing regime.

These projects are commonly known as:

• Storage-integrated solar power plants
• Storage-integrated wind power plants
• Depolamalı GES projects
• Depolamalı RES projects

The legal structure combines renewable generation with an electricity storage facility. It does not mean that the storage system itself automatically operates without licensing, permits, grid studies, or technical acceptance.

Standalone Electricity Storage Facility

A standalone facility is not integrated into a particular generation plant. It may charge from the electricity system and later discharge electricity under the permitted market structure.

EMRA’s storage framework provides that standalone storage applications are handled through the supply-license route, while storage integrated into a generation facility is handled through the relevant preliminary-license or generation-license framework.

Storage Added to an Existing Licensed Plant

An existing generation-license holder may apply to add a storage unit to its facility.

This normally requires a license amendment and may also require:

• Revised connection and system-use arrangements
• Updated technical design
• Revised project approval
• Environmental review
• Updated land-use rights
• Fire-safety assessment
• Metering modifications
• TEİAŞ or distribution-company approval

The investor should not begin construction merely because the underlying power plant already holds a generation license.

Storage in Unlicensed Generation Projects

Storage may also be used in certain unlicensed electricity generation projects, particularly self-consumption installations.

However, the legal analysis differs from licensed storage projects. The investor must review:

• The unlicensed generation category
• The associated consumption facility
• Connection conditions
• Metering rules
• Whether grid charging is permitted
• Surplus-energy treatment
• The technical configuration of the storage unit

A project intended primarily for electricity trading should not be artificially structured as an unlicensed self-consumption facility.

Who Is the Licensing Authority?

The Energy Market Regulatory Authority, known internationally as EMRA and in Turkey as EPDK, is the principal regulatory authority for electricity-market licensing.

Depending on the project, other important authorities include:

• Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources
• TEİAŞ
• Relevant electricity distribution company
• General Directorate of Energy Affairs
• Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change
• Municipalities
• Organised industrial zone authorities
• Forestry authorities
• Treasury and land authorities
• Fire departments
• Provincial administrations

Obtaining an EMRA preliminary license does not eliminate the need to obtain approvals from these other institutions.

Can a Foreign Investor Apply for an Energy Storage License?

Foreign investors may participate in Turkish energy storage projects through a company established under Turkish law.

The licensing applicant is generally expected to be a Turkish legal entity in the form permitted by electricity-market legislation. The applicant’s articles of association, shareholding structure, capital, management authority, and corporate purpose must comply with the regulatory requirements.

A foreign shareholder should therefore usually invest through:

• A Turkish joint-stock company
• Another eligible Turkish project company
• A Turkish subsidiary within an international group
• A share acquisition in an existing licensed project company

The foreign parent company’s technical and financial experience may support the project, but the local applicant remains responsible for compliance with Turkish licensing rules.

Corporate Requirements for the Applicant Company

Before filing an application, the project company should review:

• Company type
• Articles of association
• Minimum capital
• Paid-in capital
• Shareholding structure
• Registered and beneficial owners
• Board authorities
• Signature powers
• Prohibited share privileges
• Corporate purpose
• Direct and indirect control arrangements

Energy-project companies frequently require specific provisions in their articles of association concerning:

• Electricity generation
• Electricity storage
• Energy trading
• Renewable energy
• Project construction
• Operation and maintenance
• Financing and security

An application may be delayed where corporate documents do not match the proposed activity.

Preliminary License or Direct License Application?

The required application depends on the type and stage of the project.

Preliminary License

A new generation project generally requires a preliminary license before a production license can be obtained.

During the preliminary-license period, the project company must complete development obligations such as:

• Securing land rights
• Completing environmental procedures
• Obtaining zoning approvals
• Securing construction permits
• Completing technical projects
• Obtaining connection arrangements
• Completing other prescribed permits
• Meeting company-capital requirements
• Providing evidence of project progress

EMRA confirms that production activity generally requires an initial preliminary license, followed by a generation license after the preliminary-license obligations have been completed.

Generation License

The generation license authorises the legal entity to carry out electricity generation activity in accordance with the approved project.

For a storage-integrated renewable project, the generation facility and storage unit must be accurately reflected in the licensing documentation.

Supply License for Standalone Storage

A standalone electricity storage facility may require a supply-license application or an amendment to an existing supply license, depending on the applicant’s status and proposed activity.

EMRA announced that applications for standalone storage facilities would be accepted as supply-license applications, while integrated storage applications would be processed through preliminary-license or generation-license applications and amendments.

Can an Investor Obtain a Solar or Wind License by Committing to Storage?

Turkish legislation provides a regulatory route for renewable generation projects associated with storage investment.

This framework has enabled applications for storage-integrated solar and wind projects. However, investors should not interpret this route as an unconditional entitlement to a generation license.

The application remains subject to:

• Corporate eligibility
• Complete application documents
• Storage-capacity commitments
• Connection assessment
• Technical feasibility
• Land availability
• Environmental compliance
• Regulatory deadlines
• Preliminary-license obligations
• EMRA review

The relationship between generation capacity, storage capacity, connection capacity, and technical design must be legally and technically consistent.

Power Capacity and Storage Capacity

Energy storage projects use different technical units.

MW

Megawatts measure instantaneous power capacity. In a battery system, this generally represents how quickly the system can charge or discharge electricity.

MWh

Megawatt-hours measure stored energy. This generally indicates how much electricity the battery can hold and deliver over time.

For example, a 50 MW/100 MWh battery may theoretically discharge at 50 MW for approximately two hours, subject to efficiency, operating limits, degradation, and technical constraints.

The licensing application should clearly distinguish between:

• Generation electrical capacity
• Renewable mechanical capacity
• Storage power
• Storage energy
• Connection capacity
• Charging capacity
• Discharging capacity

Inconsistent capacity descriptions can create material licensing and connection problems.

Grid Connection Is a Critical Requirement

An energy storage project cannot be evaluated solely by reference to land and battery availability. The most important issue is often whether the electricity system can accommodate the project.

TEİAŞ or the relevant distribution company may assess:

• Regional transmission capacity
• Transformer capacity
• Short-circuit limits
• Voltage stability
• Congestion
• Charging demand
• Discharge capacity
• Connection-point suitability
• Protection systems
• Reactive-power capability
• Harmonic impact
• Communication and control infrastructure
• System security

Storage projects may impose both generation-type and consumption-type effects on the grid because they charge and discharge electricity at different times.

TEİAŞ published technical criteria addressing the connection of electricity storage facilities and their use in ancillary services, and later issued updated storage-related technical procedures and criteria.

Connection Opinion and Connection Agreement

Depending on the project type, the investor may require:

• A connection opinion
• A connection agreement
• A system-use agreement
• A revised connection agreement
• An amendment to an existing grid arrangement
• A transmission-facility agreement
• A direct connection-line arrangement

The connection documentation should specify:

• Connection point
• Voltage level
• Permitted capacity
• Technical limitations
• Protection requirements
• Metering arrangements
• Data communication
• Required network investments
• Responsibility for transmission facilities
• Completion deadlines

A positive licensing decision should not be confused with final permission to energise the facility.

Main Documents for an Energy Storage Application

The documents vary according to whether the application concerns a new preliminary license, a generation-license amendment, a supply license, or an existing licensed facility.

A typical application file may include:

• Application petition
• Corporate registration documents
• Articles of association
• Trade Registry Gazette records
• Signature circular
• Board resolutions
• Shareholding chart
• Ultimate beneficial ownership information
• Financial statements
• Capital evidence
• Bank letters
• Technical feasibility report
• Project layout
• Storage technology description
• Single-line diagram
• Generation-capacity information
• Storage MW and MWh values
• Charging and discharging strategy
• Site coordinates
• Land-ownership documents
• Connection-point proposal
• Environmental information
• Compliance declarations
• Application-fee receipt
• Security or guarantee documentation

EMRA requires applications to follow the licensing regulation, official application procedures, and the applicable lists of information and documents.

Financial Capacity and Capital Requirements

Energy storage projects require substantial capital due to:

• Battery procurement
• Power-conversion systems
• Transformers
• Substations
• Fire-suppression systems
• Grid connection
• Land
• Construction
• Insurance
• Battery replacement
• Recycling obligations
• Long-term operation and maintenance

The applicant may need to demonstrate sufficient financial capacity and comply with minimum-capital requirements during the preliminary-license and licensing process.

The financial review should consider:

• Equity commitment
• Paid-in capital
• Parent-company support
• Debt financing
• Currency risk
• Battery replacement reserve
• Degradation assumptions
• Grid-use charges
• Market-price volatility
• Insurance cost
• Decommissioning liability

A project should not be financed solely on optimistic electricity-arbitrage assumptions.

Application Fees and Guarantees

EMRA applications may require:

• Preliminary-license application fees
• License fees
• License-amendment fees
• Annual license fees
• Guarantees or letters of guarantee
• Grid-related deposits
• Project-development security

The amount and form may change through annual EMRA decisions. Therefore, investors should verify the applicable 2026 fee and guarantee schedule immediately before filing.

An incorrect guarantee, expired bank letter, conditional wording, or insufficient amount can render an application incomplete.

Land Rights

The project company should secure appropriate rights over:

• Battery site
• Generation site
• Substation area
• Cable route
• Access road
• Transmission line
• Auxiliary structures
• Fire-safety zones

Possible land structures include:

• Ownership
• Long-term lease
• Easement
• Usufruct
• Treasury allocation
• Forestry permit
• Expropriation
• Organised industrial zone allocation

A short-term or revocable lease may not provide adequate security for a long-term licensed project.

Environmental Impact Assessment

Energy storage facilities may require environmental review depending on:

• Project capacity
• Technology
• Associated generation facility
• Site characteristics
• Transmission lines
• Substations
• Construction scope
• Protected areas
• Forestry land
• Agricultural land
• Hazardous materials

The investor may require:

• Environmental Impact Assessment positive decision
• Environmental Impact Assessment not required decision
• Environmental permits
• Waste-management plan
• Battery-handling plan
• Emergency-response plan
• Hazardous-material compliance

Environmental approval for the solar or wind plant should not automatically be assumed to cover a subsequently added battery facility.

Zoning and Construction Permits

A storage project may require:

• Zoning-plan approval
• Land-use conversion
• Building permit
• Electrical project approval
• Fire department approval
• Occupancy or operating approval
• Organised industrial zone consent
• Structural approval
• Local authority permits

Containerised battery systems are not necessarily exempt from construction or zoning requirements merely because they are modular or movable.

Fire Safety

Battery fire risk is one of the most important legal and technical concerns.

The project design should address:

• Thermal runaway
• Fire propagation
• Container separation
• Fire detection
• Gas detection
• Ventilation
• Explosion relief
• Emergency shutdown
• Water supply
• Firefighter access
• Hazardous-gas management
• Evacuation
• Emergency-response procedures

The investor should obtain documented confirmation that the system complies with applicable Turkish standards and the recognised international standards incorporated into the project contracts.

Battery Procurement Agreements

The battery supply agreement should regulate:

• Battery chemistry
• Usable energy
• Nameplate capacity
• State of charge
• Depth of discharge
• Round-trip efficiency
• Cycle life
• Calendar degradation
• Availability
• Temperature limits
• Augmentation obligations
• Software and control systems
• Cybersecurity
• Spare parts
• Product warranty
• Performance warranty
• Replacement obligations
• Recycling and disposal

A simple equipment-sale agreement will rarely provide sufficient protection for a utility-scale storage project.

EPC Contract for Storage Projects

The Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract should clearly allocate responsibility for:

• Licensing support
• Grid compliance
• Detailed design
• Battery procurement
• Power conversion
• Fire-safety systems
• Substation construction
• SCADA integration
• Testing
• Commissioning
• Technical acceptance
• Delay
• Performance failure
• Degradation
• Capacity augmentation
• Defects
• Warranty enforcement

The investor should require measurable completion and performance tests rather than relying on general statements that the plant will be delivered on a turnkey basis.

Testing and Technical Acceptance

Before commercial operation, the facility may need to complete:

• Factory acceptance tests
• Site acceptance tests
• Capacity tests
• Efficiency tests
• Charging tests
• Discharging tests
• Protection tests
• Communication tests
• Fire-system tests
• Grid-compliance tests
• Technical acceptance

The acceptance criteria should be coordinated across:

• EMRA license
• TEİAŞ or distribution requirements
• EPC contract
• Battery supply agreement
• Financing documents
• Insurance policies

Conflicting acceptance definitions may produce disputes over whether the project has legally and commercially reached completion.

Market Participation

The commercial rights of a storage facility depend on its regulatory structure.

Potential revenue models may include:

• Energy-price arbitrage
• Balancing-market participation
• Ancillary services
• Renewable generation optimisation
• Curtailment reduction
• Capacity shifting
• Portfolio balancing
• Supply-company optimisation
• Aggregation-related services

However, not every theoretical revenue stream is automatically available to every storage facility.

The investor must confirm:

• Which market participant owns the facility
• Which license authorises the activity
• How charging electricity is purchased
• How discharged electricity is sold
• Who is responsible for imbalance
• How losses are treated
• Which meters are required
• Whether ancillary-service qualification is available

Storage and Aggregation

Turkey’s developing aggregation framework may create additional opportunities for distributed energy resources and storage assets.

A storage investor should nevertheless distinguish between:

• Owning the storage facility
• Operating the storage facility
• Supplying electricity
• Aggregating resources
• Participating in organised markets
• Providing ancillary services

Each activity may be subject to separate regulatory conditions.

Measurement and Settlement

Storage facilities require accurate measurement of:

• Electricity imported for charging
• Electricity exported during discharge
• Auxiliary consumption
• Conversion losses
• Generation supplied directly to storage
• Electricity delivered to the grid
• Electricity supplied to an associated consumer

The metering configuration should prevent double counting and should be consistent with market-settlement rules.

Incorrect metering may result in:

• Settlement corrections
• Payment recovery
• Imbalance charges
• Administrative investigation
• Disputes with the system operator
• License-compliance concerns

Battery Degradation as a Legal Risk

A battery’s capacity normally decreases over time.

The project agreements should define:

• Guaranteed beginning-of-life capacity
• Guaranteed end-of-life capacity
• Annual degradation curve
• Permitted cycle count
• Operating temperature
• Permitted state-of-charge range
• Depth-of-discharge assumptions
• Availability exclusions
• Augmentation responsibility

A 100 MWh battery may not provide 100 MWh of usable energy throughout its operating life.

The financial model and license documentation should avoid confusing nominal capacity with guaranteed usable capacity.

Change of Control and Share Transfers

The sale of shares in a licensed or preliminary-license project company may require regulatory analysis.

The parties should review:

• Direct share transfer
• Indirect change of control
• Ultimate parent-company change
• Merger
• Demerger
• Intra-group restructuring
• Share pledge enforcement
• Beneficial ownership change

The transaction may require:

• Prior EMRA approval
• Post-closing notification
• License amendment
• Corporate-document amendment
• Lender consent

A transaction should not close before determining whether the regulatory approval is a condition precedent.

Transfer of an Energy Storage Project

A preliminary license or license cannot be treated as an ordinary freely transferable asset.

An asset-sale structure may affect:

• License validity
• Land rights
• Connection rights
• Permits
• EPC contracts
• Battery warranties
• Financing security
• Environmental approvals

In many cases, investors prefer a share acquisition of the licensed project company because the company remains the holder of the regulatory rights. Even then, a change-of-control review is necessary.

Preliminary-License Obligations and Deadlines

The preliminary-license holder must complete the obligations specified in the licensing regulation and EMRA decision within the permitted period.

These may include:

• Obtaining land rights
• Completing environmental approval
• Obtaining zoning approval
• Completing technical studies
• Securing construction permits
• Finalising connection documentation
• Meeting capital obligations
• Amending corporate documents
• Obtaining required third-party approvals

Failure to meet a critical deadline may result in:

• Rejection of the production-license application
• Cancellation of the preliminary license
• Loss of guarantees
• Loss of connection capacity
• Project-finance default
• Liability to co-investors

Can the Preliminary-License Period Be Extended?

Extensions may be possible only under the applicable regulatory provisions and facts of the case.

Potential grounds may include:

• Force majeure
• Administrative injunctions
• Court decisions
• Delays attributable to public authorities
• Exceptional regulatory circumstances

Commercial difficulty, financing failure, supplier delay, or poor project management may not automatically justify an extension.

The project company should submit any extension request before the relevant deadline and support it with detailed evidence.

Grounds for Rejection

An application may be rejected because of:

• Incomplete documents
• Invalid corporate structure
• Insufficient capital
• Defective guarantee
• Inconsistent capacity information
• Unavailable grid capacity
• Unsuitable connection point
• Land conflicts
• False or misleading information
• Failure to meet storage criteria
• Regulatory prohibition
• Failure to pay required fees
• Failure to correct deficiencies on time

The investor should request a written decision identifying the legal and technical grounds for rejection.

Challenging an EMRA Decision

An adverse EMRA decision may potentially be challenged through administrative-law remedies.

Depending on the decision, the applicant may consider:

• Administrative reconsideration
• Submission of corrected documents
• Objection during a published evaluation period
• Application for amendment
• Administrative lawsuit
• Request for a stay of execution
• Claim for compensation in appropriate circumstances

The filing period for an administrative lawsuit is strict. The investor should calculate the deadline from the lawful notification or publication of the relevant decision and should not assume that informal negotiations suspend the period.

Technical Connection Disputes

A project may face disputes regarding:

• Connection capacity
• Regional congestion
• Short-circuit limits
• Allocation methodology
• Grid reinforcement
• Connection costs
• Technical criteria
• Charging restrictions
• Protection requirements
• Unequal treatment

The legal strategy may involve EMRA, TEİAŞ, the distribution company, technical experts, and administrative courts.

A technical expert report may be decisive in showing that the proposed project satisfies the applicable criteria.

Administrative Sanctions and License Cancellation

Non-compliance may result in:

• Warning
• Administrative fine
• License amendment
• Suspension
• Cancellation
• Disconnection
• Loss of market participation rights
• Recovery of payments
• Guarantee forfeiture

Serious risks include:

• Operating outside licensed capacity
• Installing unapproved equipment
• Failing to maintain required capital
• Providing false information
• Unauthorized share transfer
• Breaching connection conditions
• Failing to complete preliminary-license obligations
• Operating before technical acceptance

Due Diligence for Energy Storage Investments

A foreign investor acquiring a storage project should review:

• Applicant-company status
• Shareholders and beneficial owners
• Preliminary license or license
• EMRA correspondence
• Application documents
• Connection opinion
• Connection agreement
• Storage MW and MWh
• Generation capacity
• Land rights
• Environmental approval
• Zoning status
• Construction permits
• Grid investments
• EPC contract
• Battery supply agreement
• Warranty package
• Performance guarantees
• Insurance
• Financing
• Litigation
• Regulatory deadlines
• Change-of-control restrictions

The investor should not rely solely on the existence of a preliminary-license document.

2026 Practical Considerations

Energy storage is moving from the application and development phase into actual construction and operation. EMRA maintains 2026 licensing records, while TEİAŞ continues to apply storage-specific technical criteria and grid procedures.

By 2026, the principal legal priorities for investors include:

• Converting preliminary licenses into generation licenses
• Completing environmental and land procedures
• Securing finance
• Confirming battery-bankability
• Complying with grid-code requirements
• Coordinating fire safety
• Managing battery degradation
• Preserving connection rights
• Controlling change-of-control transactions
• Aligning EPC completion with regulatory deadlines

The fact that Turkey’s first projects have moved through licensing and toward operation demonstrates that the storage framework is no longer purely theoretical. At the same time, project-specific regulatory, financing, and construction risks remain substantial.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does every electricity storage facility require a separate license in Turkey?

Not always. The required structure depends on whether the facility is integrated into a licensed generation plant, developed as a standalone storage project, or used within an eligible unlicensed generation facility.

2. Which authority issues energy storage licenses?

EMRA is the principal licensing authority. TEİAŞ, distribution companies, environmental authorities, municipalities, and other public institutions also participate in project approval and connection procedures.

3. Can a foreign company directly apply for an energy storage license?

A foreign investor generally participates through an eligible company incorporated under Turkish law. The Turkish project company files the application and holds the regulatory rights.

4. Does a standalone battery facility require a generation license?

A standalone facility is generally addressed through the supply-license framework rather than an ordinary generation license. The precise structure should be confirmed according to the planned market activity.

5. Can an existing solar or wind power plant add battery storage?

Yes, subject to the applicable license-amendment, grid-connection, project-approval, environmental, technical-acceptance, and permit requirements.

6. Is an EMRA preliminary license sufficient to start construction?

No. A preliminary license enables the holder to complete project-development obligations. Construction should begin only after the necessary land, environmental, zoning, technical, connection, and construction approvals have been obtained.

7. What is the difference between MW and MWh?

MW indicates the battery’s charging or discharging power. MWh indicates the amount of energy it can store. Both values must be accurately stated in the application and project contracts.

8. Can an energy storage preliminary license be sold?

It is not an ordinary freely transferable asset. A project acquisition usually requires a structured share or asset transaction and may require EMRA approval, notification, or license amendment.

9. What happens if preliminary-license obligations are not completed on time?

The preliminary license may be cancelled, the production-license application may fail, guarantees may be affected, and the project may lose its connection rights.

10. Can an investor challenge EMRA’s rejection of a storage application?

Yes. Depending on the circumstances, the investor may request reconsideration, correct deficiencies, submit objections, or file an administrative lawsuit seeking annulment and, where appropriate, a stay of execution.
