Open Education Faculty | Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Energy

Last Updated: 21/09/2026

Turkey's need for electrical power is increasing gradually and steadily as a consequence of growing industry and population. However, the limited energy resources in our country cause a foreign-source dependency to meet the need for energy. Hence, it is crucial to handle those limited electrical resources at every step, from production to consumption, in an efficient and economical way. Therefore, the demand for well-equipped human resources related with production, distribution, transmission and efficient usage of electrical energy is gradually increasing. This program, which was launched as a distance education program in 2009, aims to train intermediate staff who can be employed in all establishments related to the distribution and marketing of electricity, all industrial establishments consuming electricity and public establishments such as EİE, TEİAŞ, EÜAŞ, and TETAŞ. Graduate students can also be employed in companies as assistant staff for Energy Managers who are mandatorily employed in these companies.
