New Regulation in Electricity Bills: No State Support Above 984 TL

Electricity Support to Be Limited for High Consumption Users

A new decision published in the Official Gazette introduces a major change to state-supported electricity tariffs. According to the new regulation, households and businesses consuming more than 4,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year will no longer be eligible for state assistance.

This update aims to make the system more equitable by targeting support toward low and moderate consumption users.

984 TL Threshold for State Assistance

With the revised limit, subscribers whose electricity bills reach or exceed approximately 984 TL will not benefit from government subsidies. In other words, only users below this threshold will continue to receive state support on their electricity costs.

Officials noted that this change will affect around 6% of all electricity subscribers across the country, focusing aid on households with more modest energy needs.

When the New Rule Takes Effect

The new consumption and billing limits will come into force on January 1, 2026. Starting from this date, subscribers exceeding the annual 4,000 kWh limit will see the full cost reflected on their bills, without any state contribution.

This move is part of a broader strategy to encourage energy efficiency and fairer resource distribution across Turkey’s electricity network.
