In a statement made on his social media account, YENİ Party deputy Deniz Yavuzyılmaz stated that the new decision taken by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) will bring additional costs to apartment and housing estate residents.
According to Yavuzyılmaz's post, under the regulation to be implemented from January 1, 2027, the cost of electricity consumed in the communal areas of apartments, cooperatives, and housing estates will increase significantly.
HIKE OF UP TO 104 PERCENT FOR COMMUNAL AREA ELECTRICITY
Yavuzyılmaz drew attention to the electricity consumed in communal areas such as stairwell lighting, elevators, and water boosters.
He claimed that if the total consumption on communal electricity meters throughout 2026 is between 3 thousand and 4 thousand kilowatt-hours, electricity bills will increase by between 82 percent and 104 percent.
According to the calculations shared by the deputy, an apartment building with a total communal electricity bill of 9 thousand 864 TL in 2026 will have to pay 20 thousand 112 TL for the same electricity consumption in 2027. In this case, the rate of increase will be 104 percent.
It was stated that an apartment building whose communal electricity bill reaches 14 thousand 712 TL in 2026 will pay 26 thousand 808 TL for the same consumption in 2027. The rate of increase in this example was calculated as 82 percent.
RISING BILLS WILL BE REFLECTED IN DUES
Yavuzyılmaz argued that the regulation in question will affect not only residential electricity bills but also the dues paid by apartment and housing estate residents.
Stating that the increase in the electricity expenses of communal areas will be directly reflected in apartment and housing estate budgets, Yavuzyılmaz pointed out that as a result, citizens may face higher dues.
In his post, Yavuzyılmaz stated that the AKP's electricity hike will hit not only residences but also apartment dues.
