6 years ago Thank you for sharing this. It looks like there could be some useful information in these reports, just have to get a better understanding of the context and field meanings. I will investigate further next week.
It looks like these are reports of investments that took place each year. Column J (İLAVE KURULU GÜÇ MWe) handles the change in capacity from investment/upgrade. Column H (ÜNİTE GÜCÜ MWe) seems to be the column that reports the capacity, though the algebra needs to be executed.
Database v1.1.0 has about 60% of Turkey's installed capacity, so this may be a really helpful source for discovering unknown plants. ~30 GW of capacity for Turkey is not in the final database, we know of ~10 GW that is un-located (resources/WRI/Turkey.csv) and therefore not in the final database. There is ~22 GW of 'additional capacity' (Col J) in these reports from 2014-2017. We are certainly dealing with the correct magnitudes to make some leaps on Turkish coverage. Thanks for contributing this source.

Additional Info
You might be able to use the licence number to cross ref with the non-government source you already have and take the names and company names from that as obviously they might have changed since the capacity was added. I don't know any automated way to tell if a plant has been retired if its licence is still valid but I suspect few plants have retired since 2014.
