The Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, stated, "As we enter the winter months, we do not plan to increase prices for natural gas and electricity."
The Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, made striking statements regarding the agenda during a live broadcast program he attended.
IS THERE A PRICE INCREASE IN NATURAL GAS AND ELECTRICITY?
In response to the question directed at him during a part of the program, "Is there a possibility of a price increase in the winter months?" Minister Bayraktar said, "There is no price increase for natural gas. We do not plan to increase prices for natural gas and electricity as we enter winter."
"WE MAY BE SELLING THE GAS WE RECEIVE AT HALF PRICE TO CITIZENS"
The full response of Minister Bayraktar to the relevant question is as follows: "There is no price increase for natural gas. We do not plan to increase prices for natural gas and electricity as we enter winter. Thank God the pandemic is over. Now there is a situation. There is a burden of approximately 590-600 billion lira on the Treasury for natural gas and electricity. We may be selling the gas we receive at half price to citizens."
"WE ARE WORKING FOR THOSE IN NEED OF SUPPORT"
There is no harm in providing this as support to those in need, low-income individuals, and those with fixed incomes. We say that the state should not pay the money of those who do not need it, who are unaware of how much their bill is at the end of the month. At that time, we had done this in electricity. We had done it based on consumption. Those in need of support will apply to the Ministry of Family and Social Services. It will be examined and included in the support group. We are working on this. God willing, we will announce this soon, perhaps with the new year.
