What Is the YEKDEM Unit Cost and How Is It Interpreted?
Türkiye's Renewable Energy Resources Support Mechanism (YEKDEM) supports eligible renewable generation facilities. Its unit cost is an important indicator for tracking the mechanism's periodic cost impact on suppliers and market participants.
What influences the unit cost?
Eligible generation volumes, market prices, foreign-currency support components, settlement data and total supplier volumes can influence the resulting cost. It should therefore be monitored as a periodic market indicator rather than treated as a fixed tariff.
Why it matters for budgets and procurement
For organisations planning electricity procurement, YEKDEM is a variable component beyond the wholesale market price. Comparing historical periods improves budget scenarios, while final cost calculations must also consider current regulation, contract terms and settlement data.
Reading the data in context
Monitoring YEKDEM together with PTF, renewable generation and demand profiles creates a more complete cost picture. EnergyPulse supports date-range queries for YEKDEM and related market indicators.
