Although this transformation affects the entire value chain of the power system, the increase in distributed energy resources (distributed generation, electric vehicles, heat pumps, behind-the-meter energy storage, etc.) necessitates a comprehensive transformation of distribution systems.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhancing, modernizing, and expanding the distribution system in parallel with these developments is one of the essential prerequisites for this transformation. The success of the energy transition envisioned within the framework of climate and energy targets depends not only on planning distribution systems with a focus on digitalization, but also on defining the new responsibilities and functions of distribution system operators (DSOs).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the report <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Transformation of T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Electricity Distribution Sector\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prepared by the SHURA Energy Transition Center, the necessary steps for the modernization, digitalization, and expansion of distribution systems, as well as the new roles to be undertaken by distribution system operators, are evaluated in detail, while the transformation process is addressed considering different phases.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image source=&#8221;featured_image&#8221; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;]<div class=\"d-block w-100 text-center\"><a  href=\"https:\/\/shura.org.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SHURA-EDM-Executive-Summary-Transformation-of-Turkiyes-Electricity-Distribution-Sector.pdf\" class=\"btn mb-2      btn-primary d-inline-flex align-items-center      pix-btn-div btn-md\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"    ><span class=\"font-weight-bold \" >Executive Summary<\/span><\/a><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Kas\u0131m 2025<\/em><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_section pix_over_visibility=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_row pix_particles_check=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Traditional electrical systems are defined as centralized, unidirectional power-flow structures in which consumers are positioned at the end of the value chain and whose fundamental components are generation, transmission, and distribution.
