Dicle Elektrik has undertaken several infrastructure projects in the Mardin province of Turkey to modernize the electricity network.

In the Artuklu district, the company is finalizing a 1.5 billion Turkish-lira investment in the 13 Mart neighbourhood. This project involves replacing old overhead lines with a new underground power network to improve reliability and weather resistance. Mardin provincial director Halil Homan noted that planned power outages are necessary for safety during the intensive work.

Additionally, in the Ömerli district, Dicle Elektrik launched a 42.4 million TL project to strengthen energy supply for approximately 400 residential subscribers. This initiative includes moving overhead lines underground along the Midyat road to reduce visual pollution and establishing a ring connection between buildings to ensure continuous service via alternative lines during technical faults.
