3 ENERGy Paralleling economic growth, Turkey s consumption of electricity increased 5.1% to 241 TWh. Developments in the petroleum sector in 2012 Turkey s GDP growth rate is expected to fall to about 3% in the face of the global economic slowdown and policies taken to address the country s current account deficit. Oil price was $106.5/barrel at the beginning of 2012, and it fluctuated throughout the year in response to economic and political developments. The year closed with oil at $110/barrel. The global economic growth rate of 3.2% had a positive impact on the world s oil demand with average daily consumption rising by 1.1% to million barrels. Consolidation in refinery industry accelerated in 2012 due to the decline in consumption created by European countries conservation measures and pressures brought on by the increasing price differential between WTI and Brent crude oil. As a result, refineries with 1.49 million/day total capacity either ceased operations or were transformed into commercial terminals, as they became unable to sustain profitability. While this had a favorable impact on Mediterranean refinery margins, sanctions on Iranian oil had an unfavorable impact. Competition in the domestic oil distribution sector intensified in 2012, affecting quality and product and service diversity positively. The measures taken against illegal fuels began to pay off. Dynamism in the sector continued as new players attempted to enter it while those unsuccessful ones left. Another significant development in the oil distribution sector was the increase in the special consumption tax (ÖTV) after a three year hiatus. Additional measures were taken to eliminate the adverse effect on the sector of substandard or contraband products. For instance, the Ministry of Finance took action to prevent use of the no. 10 oil as fuel, the most common form of illegal fuel, which is also a major environmental threat, and source of tax losses. After having imposed ÖTV on lubricants on 14 September 2011, the ministry implemented a taxreturn policy on the ÖTV on base oils on 11 October It is expected that the measures taken will be effective in preventing such illegal practices. Demand for diesel fuel consumption continued to rise. According to the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK), total diesel fuel consumption rose 6.1% to 15.6 million tons in Total white products consumption (gasoline and diesel fuel) grew by 4.6%, while that of black products (fuel oil and heating oil) declined by 12.6% in The decline in gasoline demand continued as a result of increasing autogas usage, dieselization and uneven taxation. Gasoline consumption decreased by 6.6% to 1.85 million tons. According to a government communiqué published in 2011, minimum 2% bioethanol is being added to gasoline since 1 January As of 1 January 2014, diesel fuel will have to contain at least 1% biodiesel, with the proportion gradually rising in subsequent years to 3%. However a change in the regulation, reducing the ratio to 0.3% as of 2014, is currently being discussed. While the necessary domestic crops and production capacity exist for bioethanol, over 70% of the vegetable oils, the main input for biodiesel production, 58 / 59 KOÇ HOLDİNG Annual RePORt 2012

4 koç GROUP Bülent Küçük Aygaz are imported and this figure is increasing. Therefore, biodiesel production in Turkey will likely result in a further increase in vegetable oil imports. Turkey s LPG sector in 2012 LPG consumption in Turkey, Europe s second largest LPG market, was 3.7 million tons in 2012, of which 73% was for use as autogas and 24% as cylinder gas in nearly 10 million households and businesses. Autogas consumption in Turkey, the second largest autogas market in the world and the largest in Europe, grew by 2% in 2012 to 2.7 million tons. The Turkish market makes up 11% of the total world autogas market. On 22 September 2012, ÖTV on autogas was increased, while ÖTV on cylinder gas did not change. The exemption of cylinder gas from ÖTV increases, is an important development for the sector. Electricity sector developments in 2012 The world economy has been adversely affected by the uncertainties created by the world economic crisis. Most importantly, the situation of some countries in the European Union has shaken all markets. The continuation of the crisis caused the rapidly growing interest in renewable energy to decline. Paralleling economic growth, Turkey s consumption of electricity increased 5.1% to 241 TWh. The free eligible customer limit, which gives electricity consumers the right to choose providers, was set at 25,000 kwh/year in Privatization of distribution assets continued and tenders previously canceled were reopened. Privatization of the Electricity Generation Company s (EÜAŞ) assets began with the Seyitömer and Kangal thermal power plants and it is expected to continue in There were two major developments in the electricity market that may have a direct impact on consumer prices: BOTAŞ imposed price hikes in April and October on natural gas sold to natural gas conversion electric power stations, totaling 32%. The EPDK raised the profit margins of electricity distribution companies from 2.33% to 3.49%. Koç Holding Energy Group Tüpraş, flagship company of Koç Group, Turkey s energy sector leader, maintained its customer-focused strategy in 2012 and achieved a higher than sector average growth in diesel sales, raising its market share from 51.5% to 53.1%. Tüpraş also increased its gasoline market share from 91.5% to 96.4% through its competitive strength founded on its storage and terminal infrastructure. Paralleling developments in the air transportation sector, the domestic sales of civilian jet fuel rose by 499,000 tons. The continued rapid growth of the Turkish air transportation sector enabled Tüpraş to increase sales of jet fuel by 20%. Aygaz maintained its clear lead in the LPG sector with a market share of 29%, according to the EPDK data. The total market share of the Aygaz group in cylinder LPG was 43%. It also remained market leader in autogas with a 23% market share.
