Abstract
Energy is an effective economic power which can provide people with their basic necessities such as health, education, accommodation and protection. Increasing energy efficiency depends on development of the ability of energy sources with the combination of minimum posible cost, minimum risk and environment friendly facilities. Small and Medium Sized Entrerprises (SME) those can reflect this productivity of environment friendly energy to their production can be the cornerstone of social and economic development which is the determining economic factor in the countries’ social and economic development process. It is obvious that one of the main inputs of economic and social development is energy and providing it by using alternative sources is one of the most important parameters of sustainable development. Intense usage of fossil fuels causes a dependent condition in which SME’s cannot afford their energy demands totally by their own resources. As a result of an awareness research about alternative energy sources that will increase SME’s competitive capacity and sectoral tendency towards green energy sources, it is seen that consciousness of alternative energy and trends towards renewable energy resources are not strong enough. It is also identified that their level of awareness about how much their efficiency might be affected as a result of using new energy resources is rather low. Shortly in the frame of Vision 2023, recognising the main alternative energy resources of Turkey, it aims to identify the effects of tendency of SME’s towards alternative energy resources on their productivity.
