Turkey's tiered gas tariff to double winter bills for up to 40% of households
A tiered natural‑gas tariff was introduced in Turkey in April 2024, dividing residential customers into two consumption levels. Under Kademe‑1, users pay 16.23 TL per cubic metre; once the consumption limit is exceeded, Kademe‑2 applies at 26.13 TL per cubic metre. Turkey has roughly 23 million residential gas subscribers, and sector sources say the new system could affect 35‑40 % of them as winter heating demand rises.
Industry representatives warn that November and December usage spikes could push many bills to double their current level, especially in multi‑apartment buildings heated by central systems, where the total bill is split among units. Coastal cities are also at risk if local consumption limits are breached, potentially forcing those households onto the higher tariff.
