Capacity payments cannot be made to companies
“The energy sector, which was privatized by the AK Party with the promise of being cheap and of high quality, has been in a stalemate in about 10 years. Today, all electricity distribution and approximately 85% of production are privatized in Turkey. The government that presents the decrease in the share of the public as a success; Today, the capacity mechanism made to ensure supply security has become unable to make support payments. It is stated that the payments announced every month have not been made regularly since February 2022. It is stated that the amount of payment that TEİAŞ cannot make at the moment is around 1 billion liras in total.
Companies do not pay the transmission fee to TEIAS

Both the industry is sinking and the bills are not falling
Supply companies in the energy sector; It is stated that due to the difference between electricity generation costs and the national tariff, it has borrowed TL 2022 billion until May 23. It is stated that if electricity generation costs do not decrease, companies will borrow a total of 50 billion TL by the end of the year. This is an indication of the fact that the AK Party government has dragged the energy sector into debt swamp with the wrong decisions it has taken for 20 years, and that despite being a fundamental right, millions of citizens experience energy poverty. Due to these decisions taken by the government, neither the invoices nor the sector attains a structure that will ensure the security of supply in Turkey.”
