Turkey natural gas consumption support program
Overview
Turkey’s Ministry of Family and Social Services has implemented a Natural Gas Consumption Support Program to assist low-income households with heating costs.
In the first nine months of 2026, the ministry distributed 1.082 billion lira to 620,464 eligible households. The program, which was integrated into regular social assistance in 2023, requires applicants to be Turkish citizens residing in areas with a natural gas supply.
Specific assistance amounts vary by province to account for regional temperature differences, with monthly aid ranging from 188 to 438 Turkish Liras. The support is distributed over an eight-month period from October to May, with payments occurring every two months. Applications are processed through the e-Devlet portal, and final eligibility is determined by local Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundations. Beneficiaries can manage payments via the e-Ailem system or through ‘Family Cards’ issued by Halkbank.
