Abstract :The need for energy in our country, which has been developing rapidly in recent years, is evident how effective and efficient use of available energy resources should be. For this reason, the current energy sources and the situation in the Mediterranean region have been investigated. It is understood that hydroelectric power plants constitute the biggest share among the renewable energy sources of the Mediterranean province. However, although the Mediterranean region has a great potential in wind and solar energy, it has been determined that wind and solar power plants are insufficient. As the Mediterranean region is an intense solar radiation and wind speed, it is concluded that more solar and wind power plants should be installed. This requires our government to provide more support to the private sector for the establishment of solar and wind power plants in the Mediterranean region.
