Amending Communiqué on the Implementation Procedures and Principles of the Green Transformation Support Program
The Amending Communiqué on the Implementation Procedures and Principles of the Green Transformation Support Program (Communiqué) was published in the Official Gazette dated 09.07.2025 and numbered 32951. With this Communiqué, certain amendments have been introduced regarding the name and implementation processes of the program.
The key issues regulated under the Communiqué are summarized below:
- The name of the Communiqué was changed to the “Communiqué on the Implementation Procedures and Principles of the Green Transformation Program.” The phrase “Support Program” in the relevant provisions was updated as “Green Transformation Program.”
- It was regulated that the road map report, which includes the practices to be carried out on a facility basis within the framework of the green transformation strategy, may also be prepared by the investor. A minimum term requirement was introduced for the project proposals to be included in the report. Accordingly, the report must contain at least one project proposal covering a total period of no less than five years.
- The limitations on program applications were revised. It was stated that if there is an ongoing application process or an active investment incentive certificate for a specific investment address, a new application cannot be submitted for the same address.
- A second correction right was introduced for application format requirements. It was regulated that if only formal deficiencies are identified at the end of the correction period, an additional correction may be granted.
- The scope of support for renewable energy investments was redefined. Solar and wind-based electricity generation facilities were included in the program scope for the purpose of ensuring project integrity. However, it was stated that such investments will not be included in the Investment Incentive Certificate or considered in the investment size calculation.
- The regulation governing the project monitoring process has undergone an update. While it was preserved that projects will be monitored by evaluators appointed by the General Directorate of Strategic Research and Productivity, it was also stated that, if any, the investment progress reports submitted by the General Directorate of Incentive Implementation and Foreign Investment (TUYSGM) to the above-mentioned General Directorate will also be taken into account during the monitoring process.
