A new regulation regarding government subsidies for electricity was published in the Official Gazette. According to the decision, subscribers whose annual electricity consumption exceeds the 4,000 kilowatt-hour (kWh) limit will no longer be eligible for this subsidy.
According to a statement by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, the regulation will take effect on January 1, 2026. Under the new system, users with monthly electricity bills of approximately 984 TL or more will also be excluded from the subsidy.
It is estimated that the regulation will affect approximately 6 percent of all subscribers. The goal is to redirect the electricity support provided by the government toward households with lower consumption.
Energy experts note that while this step will encourage energy efficiency, it could create a financial burden for high-consumption households. According to experts, the new regulation may encourage citizens to use more energy-efficient appliances and reduce their energy consumption.
Citizens are advised to review their annual electricity consumption before 2026 to determine whether they exceed this limit.
