“It has removed residential subscribers whose monthly bill is 1,049 TL and above from the fixed price tariff. It has included them in the variable price tariff where the Market Clearing Price (PTF) is valid. Thus, it has left subscribers at the mercy of private electricity generation companies. In the coming months, residential subscribers with a monthly electricity consumption of over 495 TL will also be included in the variable price tariff, and there will be a 140 percent hike in electricity bills. This is a blow to the citizen, it is crushing them under inflation."
