Project Description

The countries in the Mediterranean region are particularly exposed to climate change for various reasons. They are facing a steadily growing energy demand. At the same time, with a strong reliance on thermal power stations (and to some extent hydropower stations), they are likely to be exposed to reduced river runoff, increased seasonality and increased air/water temperatures, which are the main biophysical drivers impacting electricity generation. As a result, the vulnerability of the power sector is high with resulting increasing pressure on electricity costs and risk of shortages in the absence of effective mitigation and adaptation investments. In light of the growing challenges posed by climate change, it is important to identify future bottlenecks in the Turkish (and potentially other Mediterranean countries) energy sector and assess investments needs in order to increase the resilience of the sector. The proposed TC project will develop a robust approach to the topic and test the potential for investments in Turkey. Additionally, this work may be extended to other EBRD Countries of Operation subject to business need.

The Project is consistent with the Bank’s Sustainable Resource Initiative (“SRI”), approved by the Board on the 16th April 2013 (BDS13-52F), which aims at promoting the sustainable use of energy, materials and water resources. The first TC assignment is also consistent with the Strategy for Turkey, approved by the Board on the 14^th October 2015.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020. Please visit the Access to Information Policy page to find out what information is available from the EBRD website.

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
