ELECTRICAL ENERGY SECTOR
The Electricity Market Law No. 4628, which entered into force in 2002, brought revolutionary changes in the industry whereby electricity generation, distribution and trade license activity was opened to the private sector after a public sector monopoly throughout the history of the Republic. Going through so many changes to that day, this law transferred all distribution activities and more than half of the production activities to the private sector. The transmission remains to be managed by the public sector under the law.
Our company perceived this change in the past 15 years in a very short time and undertook the structuring accordingly. In this context, it implemented the connection (154-380 kV OHL and TS) of many Wind- and Natural Gas-based private sector production facilities in the past 15 years to the transmission system. Initially servicing the public sector entirely, the company moved on to acquire a structure where it offers 70 percent of its transmission facilities, construction, project and engineering, and operation and maintenance services to private sector organizations. Over the last 15 years, our average turnover stood at approximately $30 million with the annual average number of employees ranging from 150-200. In this context, we have always succeeded in having a 15 percent market share in the industry in line with our goal we determined in the last 15 years, and even exceeded this some years.
