These new political approaches cannot be ignored. In this context, EU and Turkey have created energy policies in which renewable energy sources are supported to combat environmental pollution. Turkey while trying to take place in this changing conjuncture, so many efforts have been made to acquire renewable energy resources on the basis of energy diversity and to take a place in the world energy sector by taking steps on energy saving and efficiency fields. Also Turkey has begun liberalization of the energy market structure, just as it is in EU and start to pursue a strong and transparent policy by opening it to the competitive financial market. In this study, strategies about energy policies in Turkey those can be taken as a result of Paris summit are studied. Turkey is making the necessary arrangements in harmony with the renewable energy targets, improving the cooperation with other fossil sources and contributing the effective participation into the national and international studies in order to prevent previous negative effects of the increasing of the energy consumption, prepare a clean environment for the next generations.
