Electricity and meters in Turkey

Copy of electric bill and how to read a digital meter.


Questions re electric bills and metres in Turkey. I hope the above helps. if I have missed anything let me know and I will put right.

Unlike the UK electricity bills are not posted, a reader comes to the property and a handheld machine spews out a printed bill, then it can be an easter egg hunt, in the post box wrapped around a door knocker between the door jam..etc...

On the above bill it runs from 23rd November 2005 to 20th January 2006 this is the norm time period, our water bill usually follows in the same manner a week or so later.

Electricity 7am - 5pm kw/h 0.14YTL
Electricity 5pm - 10pm kw/h 0.22YTL
Electricity 10pm - 7am kw/h 0.08YTL

exclusive of V.A.T (or Turkish KDV)

You can pay the bill anytime upto the last date shown, if you pay your bill automatically through the bank they will take the money on the last date.


The above info is a 3 rate meter, this is a little dated now and I will update the info later with the new revised tariffs.
Turkey electric prices equate to a 51-60% price increase this year,

BELOW IS A SINGLE RATE METER



A single rate meter is preferred by many owners, this means you pay a flat rate regardless to the time of day.
