Electricity is necessity for daily needs in today’s condition and it has gained so much importance. Accordingly, illegal electricity consumption is a crucial situation in both developing and developed countries and this thesis aims to find the relationship between immigration and illegal electricity consumption. In this study, we use panel data and difference in differences estimation methods. Due to the fact that Turkey has random immigration influx and the majority of immigrants’ population in Turkey consists of Syrian immigrants, we take Syrian immigrants in Turkey as a case study. We use data of electricity theft and loss rate of 27 provinces and their socio-economic data for the period of 2009 -2016. Using the panel data fixed effects and difference in differences methods we mainly find that immigrant influx has an important impact on illegal electricity consumption. Moreover, unemployment rate, privatization, population density and amount of agricultural land have significant effects on illegal electricity consumption in our models.

The impact of electricity market liberalization in Turkey "Free consumer" and distributional monopoly cases
Bahce, Serdal; Taymaz, Erol (Elsevier BV, 2008-07-01)
Electricity sector has grown substantially in Turkey since the early 1960s as a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization. The vertically integrated state-owned company had a legally established monopoly on the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Turkey. With the support and encouragement of international organizations like the World Bank, Turkey has initiated a comprehensive program to liberalize and privatize the electricity market in 2001. The liberalization of the electr...
Evaluation of potential run-of river hydropower plant sites using multi-criteria decision making in terms of environmental and social aspects
Temel, Pelin; Alp, Emre; Department of Environmental Engineering (2015)
Electrical energy is an indispensable need of continuity of life in today’s world. Therefore energy generation sources are one of the most important topics of countries, so that every country develops a strategy to use them efficiently. At this point, necessity of involving sustainability of energy sources in strategies makes hydropower energy become prominent. On the other hand, rapid increase in number of hydropower projects causes losing control of environmental effects of them. In this sense, a decision...
Syrian Refugee Inflow and Illegal Electricity Consumption in Turkey
Derin Güre, Pınar (2021-01-06)
Electricity is a widely used form of energy and has many uses in our day-to-day life. Therefore illegal electricity consumption, namely electricity theft,is a crucial problem in developing and developed countries. This study aims to find the relationship between immigration and illegal electricity consumption. As far as we know, this is the first study to explore this relationship empirically. In this study, we use panel data and difference in differences estimation methods. Because Turkey had a random immi...
The impact of photovoltaic power plant penetration level on security constrained unit commitment and an approach for reducing curtailment of PV energy
Kahraman, Özgür; Ünver, Baki Zafer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
As a main rule of electricity grid, the balance of generation and demand must be maintained. The system operators execute “Unit Commitment (UC)” process in day-ahead market in order to fulfill this aim. The Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) algorithm creates optimal hourly schedules for generators with minimum total electricity generation cost considering the forecasted hourly demands for the next day and the generation offers while satisfying the constraints of generators and transmission system....
