In the new year, approximately 2.5 million subscribers whose annual electricity consumption exceeds 4,000 kWh will be excluded from state support and will be able to contract with different suppliers as "free consumers." In natural gas, a city-based tiered system will be implemented.
With the new year, state support will be cut for subscribers whose annual electricity consumption exceeds 4,000 kilowatt-hours (monthly average 333 kilowatt-hours - 984 TL). It is expected that 2.5 million subscribers will be affected by the regulation.
DIFFERENT TIERS IN ERZURUM, DIFFERENT TIERS IN ISTANBUL
As of next year, a tiered system for natural gas has also been decided. The tiered application for natural gas may vary by city. The natural gas usage in provinces differs during the winter months according to their temperature values. From now on, the tiers will be applied differently, for example, in Erzurum compared to Istanbul.
However, since the same regulation is not applied to electricity, citizens in cities like Antalya and Adana, which use air conditioning heavily in the summer, are more affected by the electricity tier.
THEY WILL BECOME FREE CONSUMERS
Subscribers who fall outside the support will become "free consumers" and will be able to purchase electricity by making a bilateral agreement with any supplier of their choice. Thus, they will be able to request to switch to the most suitable tariff for themselves.
