Turkey natural gas policy updates
Entities: Turkey · Regular Natural Gas Consumption Support Program · Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş · Aksa Siirt Batman Natural Gas Distribution Company · Energy Market Regulation Authority (EPDK)
Overview
In late July 2026 the Turkish government disbursed 158.8 million lira in natural‑gas aid to more than 504,000 eligible households under the Regular Natural Gas Consumption Support Program, with plans to extend the scheme to over 617,000 households and a total allocation of about 1.07 billion lira for the 2026 schedule.
A few days later, the Energy Market Regulation Authority announced a new five‑year tariff framework for natural‑gas distribution covering 2027‑2031. The rules set a 22‑year amortisation period for system‑usage charges and raised the investment ceiling for Aksa Siirt Batman Natural Gas Distribution Co. from 24.15 million to 54.75 million Turkish lira to speed regional network upgrades. Together, these actions show Turkey’s ongoing adjustments to both social‑aid support and regulatory pricing in its natural‑gas sector.
