Since the Industrial Revolution, energy-driven consumption of fossil fuels has led to a rapid increase in GHG emissions, disrupting the global carbon cycle and leading to a planetary warming impact. In this study Turkey´s power generation plan between 2018 and 2035 is obtained by using a new mathematical model, i.e. bt using fuzzy multi-objective programming method, that aims to make a generation expansion planning to have an acceptable level of a pollutant in the air considering the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol´s responsibilities of Turkey and MoE´s & private sector´s energy targets. The multi-objective model aims; 1) energy generation cost minimization of energy production considering all energy related costs in Turkey, 2) greenhouse gases emission´s reduction, 3) minimizing the imported energy, 4) maximizing efficiency of power plants, and 5) minimizing the use of fossil fuels in power plants. By solving the mathematical model, Turkey´s 18-years power generation plan between the years 2018 and 2035 is obtained, and by 2035 Turkey´s power generation is increased by 77% which includes 24.7% solar energy, 19.1% wind energy, 18.5% hydro energy, 12.3% biomass under high-demand scenario.
