The energy sector is one of the most promising and developing sectors in the Turkish economy. Turkey has become one of the fastest-growing energy markets in the world, in parallel with its economic growth recorded over the last 10 years. The Turkish energy market has become a competitive market structure by attracting private sector investments. The energy market is in a rapid growth and liberalisation process with privatisation, licensing deals and strategic alliances in the market. This privatisation programme has given the country's energy sector a highly competitive structure and new horizons for growth.

In Turkey, the energy sector was under the control of a monopoly, TEK, for a long time. TEK was a public corporation established for electricity energy generation, transmission, distribution, and trade. TEK, pursuant to the legal regulations concerning the contribution of the private sector to the electricity market was restructured in 1993 as the Turkish Electricity Generation and Transmission Corporation (TEGTC) for electricity generation and transmission and the Turkish Electricity Distribution Corporation (TEDC) for electricity distribution. The Turkish Energy Law is mainly composed of following sections: Electricity Market, Natural Gas Market, Petroleum Market, LPG Market, Renewable Energy Market.
