Regulation on Aggregation Activities in the Electricity Market
The aggregation activity was included, at a high level, in the Electricity Market Law numbered 6446 (EML) on 22.12.2022 and was articulated as an electricity market activity. The fourth paragraph of Article 12/A of the EML, stated that the procedures and principles regarding the aggregation activity were to be regulated in a regulation issued by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA).
Regulation on Aggregation Activities in the Electricity Market (Regulation), issued by EMRA, is published in the Official Gazette dated 17.12.2024 and numbered 32755 (Official Gazette). The Regulation will enter into force on, 01.01.2025. Furthermore, the Official Gazette includes amendments to several other electricity market regulations. With these amendments made to the below-listed regulations, inter alia, several issues regarding aggregation activity are inserted into the secondary legislation.
- Electricity Market Balancing and Settlement Regulation,

- Electricity Market Ancillary Services Regulation
- Regulation on Storage Activities in the Electricity Market
- Regulation on Unlicensed Electricity Production in the Electricity Market

With these amendments, issues related to aggregation activities, such as the rights and obligations of aggregator license holders, registration processes with the market operator and matters related to the provision of demand response services are determined in more detail.
As for unlicensed (license-exempt) electricity generation plants, the provision contemplating that those unlicensed electricity generation facilities that have completed their ten-year purchase guarantee period may participate in the portfolio of the aggregator license holders’ or supply license holders having aggregation activities included in their license was one of the noteworthy amendments.
