About electricity prices in Türkiye

Türkiye generates electricity from a broad mix of gas-fired plants, domestic lignite and imported coal, hydropower, wind, solar and geothermal, with renewables supplying a growing share. Household tariffs are regulated nationally by the energy regulator EMRA and applied by regional retail companies, with adjustments made several times a year in response to costs and inflation.

Bills are issued in Turkish lira and use a tiered structure in which households pay a higher rate once their consumption exceeds a set threshold, alongside optional time-of-day tariffs. Natural gas is the main heating fuel in cities, while electricity is more common for heating in the south and west, and air conditioning drives summer peaks along the coast.
