Special provisions have been established for those affected by the earthquake in the renewable energy sector projects supported by the IPARD III program. The electricity consumption data of applicants over the last three years will be examined. For applications related to renewable energy projects in provinces affected by the earthquake, an exceptional arrangement has been made. In this context, electricity consumption data from the period prior to the earthquake will be requested and taken into account when determining the production-based power capacity.
