The possibility of price hikes for electricity and natural gas is occupying the agenda in the energy sector. Discussions are ongoing regarding increasing the ceiling price set per megawatt-hour applied in the spot electricity market.
According to sources in the sector, the proposal to raise this ceiling, which is currently at the level of 3 thousand 400 TL, to 4 thousand 100 TL has been placed on the agenda.
In evaluations made within the sector, it is stated that energy producers and distribution companies have shared their demands for price increases with the relevant institutions due to rising costs. While the intensity of contacts made with authorities draws attention, it is noted that sector representatives are underlining their demands for price hikes.
Experts point to the possibility that raising the ceiling price in the spot electricity market could be directly reflected to the consumer, and they anticipate that the steps to be taken could be reflected in electricity and natural gas bills in the coming period. New steps that may be taken in the energy market and the decisions to be made will be decisive in how prices will be shaped.
