Domestic consumers pay half as
much again for electricity than business consumers, said the Turkish Statistics
Institute (TurkStat) on Wednesday.
Domestic consumers paid on average 0.354 Turkish lira ($0.1577/0.1246 Euro) per
kWh for electricity, whereas business consumers paid on average 0.234 Turkish
lira, the institute reported in its statement called TurkStat's Electricity and
Natural Gas Prices which covers the first half of this year. This is a
difference of 51%.
Natural gas prices, however, showed less variation between the two groups of
consumers than electricity prices. Domestic consumers pay 16% more than
businesses, paying on average 1.042 Turkish lira per cubic metre for natural
gas, while business consumers paid on average 0.895 Turkish lira per cubic
metre.
