Traditional sources used to product energy have rapidly depleted in the whole world. Also, some of these resources due to emission of harmful gases have caused great harm to the environment. Thus, countries have sought alternative energy sources. Renewable energy sources have become preferred because they are both renewable and friendly with the environment (Yenneti, 2015: 994). Worldwide, widely used renewable energy resources are wind, water, sun, geothermal, biomass and so on (Herche, 2017: 592). Since almost every country has at least one of these sources, the increasing use of these resources will also contribute significantly to the countries’ energy supply security. Studies are being carried out to make renewable energy sources available in daily life all over the world. The costs of the technology in this area are being tried to reduce to the commercially viable levels. Therefore, various supports (for example, feed-in-tariffs, shares with commercialization of certificates, capital subsidies, auctions, and net metering etc. (Aquila et. al., 2016: 1090)) are being provided to producers and consumers that use renewable energy sources, to reduce costs and to promote use (Alizamir et al., 2016: 52). Various incentives are also given in Turkey to benefit from the advantages provided using renewable energy resources. One of these incentives is feed-in-tariffs which are price-based policies. They are combined with a purchase obligation on utilities. And, these policies affect the cost of renewable energy per kWh generated (Rio & Gual, 2006: 995). Thus, a variety of facilities are being provided to expand the use of renewable resources, also both to manufacture domestically equipment needed for energy production from these sources and to increase the share of renewable resources in consumption. For this purpose, it is required not only feed-in-tariffs but also administrative procedure, grid connection, etc (Rio & Gual, 2006: 1000). The aim of the study is to determine whether the incentives for electricity production from solar energy, one of the renewable energy sources, are adequate in Turkey. Electricity generation from solar energy is widely seen in countries such as China (Zhao et. al., 2016), Germany, Spain (Rio & Gual, 2006) and Italy. Incentives in those countries are compared with Turkey’s incentive mechanism, and it is investigated by using the calculations related to the cost of solar panel installation, its lifespan and payback period in Turkey. And, it is examined whether incentives provided to increase this technology deployment have reached the desired level. Therefore, it seems that incentives provided in the field of solar energy have not yet reached the sufficient level in terms of both producers and consumers in Turkey. In the short run, they should be increased to reduce costs which it is necessary for the implementation of the projects. Because the incentives compensate for the cost disadvantages (Tamas et. al., 2010: 4043). In the long run, the high level of incentives may be reduced thanks to cost advantage of solar power technology deployment.

Therefore it is an important source for energy production. Nuclear energy, which has many advantages compared to other energy sources, also contains many risks and disadvantages. Firstly it has large installation costs. A significant part of its cost consists of installation costs, and the costs incurred as a result of its activities remain low compared to the installation costs. The costs of nuclear power plants at the pre-use stage increase even more when the expenditures required for safety and the additional costs of the length of the construction period are taken into account. When nuclear power plants expire, it is more costly to remove them from use than to install them. But the main problem with nuclear power plants is the problem of preventing radioactive leaks. As a result of accidents that may occur during nuclear activities or due to the storage of nuclear waste in an insufficiently reliable storage area, radioactive leaks may occur, which can lead to very serious problems for both people and the environment.
As a technology with an ongoing development process, small-modular reactors can be installed in a shorter time with a lower initial cost and less financial risk compared to large reactors. Due to their smaller size, they
are suitable for areas with low grid capacity and dispersed population. Its small size provides flexibility in production in terms of capacity and fuel. Small-modular reactors, which are highly adaptable to renewable energy sources, have passive safety features and less waste, seem to be an advantageous alternative in energy production for developing countries whose energy demand is increasing, electricity grids are limited and
settlements are scattered.
According to TEİAŞ Turkey Electricity Transmission Production Statistics, approximately 45% of electricity generation in Turkey for 2020 was realized in power plants operating with coal and natural gas. Together with
other fossil fuels, this rate approaches 60%. 41.85% of electricity production in 2020 was provided from renewable resources. More than half of the electricity production is provided by fuels with high carbon emissions, and a significant portion of these fuels are imported. Therefore small modular reactors should be evaluated as an option for Turkey. Renewable resources, whose energy production fluctuates depending on
weather conditions, currently meet nearly half of the production and the share of these resources is projected to increase. Small modular reactors having flexibility to be adjusted fluctuations in renewable resources, may
be an option for Turkey also in this respect.

In this study, the effects of income, area, population, urbanization, ethnic fractionalization, human development, globalization, institutional factors, income distribution, economic stability and participatory budgeting on fiscal decentralization are examined empirically using the data of OECD countries between 2000-2016 and the Panel Corrected Standard Errors method.Kamusal mal ve hizmetlerin yerelleşmiş sunumunun ekonomik etkinlik ve sosyal refah düzeyini artıracağı düşüncesiyle birçok ülkede alt düzey yönetimlerin ekonomik fonksiyonların yerine getirilmesindeki payını artırmaya yönelik faaliyetler gerçekleştirilmektedir. Çalışmada gelir, alan, nüfus, kentleşme, etnik çeşitlilik, insani gelişme, küreselleşme, kurumsal faktörler,...
