8月1日，由于市场波动和运营成本，土耳其政府能源公司提高了家庭和小型企业的天然气价格。 房主的价格上涨了 38%，年消耗量低于 30 万立方米的小型工业的价格上涨了 33.1%。 土耳其严重依赖俄罗斯、阿塞拜疆、伊朗等外国，以及从卡塔尔、美国、尼日利亚和阿尔及利亚等其他国家进口液化天然气。 仅6月份，土耳其天然气进口支出约45.4亿美元，占其进口总额的近18.2%。 土耳其国内天然气产量仍然较低，仅占该国总消费量的不到 1%。 最近的价格上涨是在埃尔多安总统去年竞选期间承诺向家庭提供免费天然气之后进行的。 然而，土耳其最近在黑海发现了大量新天然气储量，预计这将减少该国对进口天然气的依赖。 但这些新发现似乎尚未对当前的能源状况产生实质性影响。

  • Turkey's state energy company BOTA? has raised natural gas prices by 38% for households and 33.1% for small industrial customers, effective August 1st.

  • The price hike comes just over a year after President Erdogan promised free gas for households during his re-election campaign.

  • Turkey's heavy reliance on gas imports, particularly from Russia, has contributed to the country's energy vulnerability.

Turkey’s state energy operator BOTA? Petroleum Pipeline Corporation has announced that it will increase natural gas prices for residential use by 38%, starting 1st August. 

BOTA? will also increase gas prices to small to medium-sized industrial customers whose annual natural gas consumption is 300,000 cubic meters or less by 33.1%.

The company says it reached its decision "taking into account market conditions, market price stability, the Energy Market Regulatory Authority's (EPDK) decisions regarding tariffs and changes in purchasing-operating expenses."

Turkey largely relies on gas imports and is highly dependent on Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran. The country also buys liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar, the U.S., Nigeria and Algeria.

According to data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat), Turkey imported natural gas worth $4.54 billion in June, good for 18.2% of total imports.

According to EPDK energy regulator data, domestic natural gas production mainly in the Thrace region accounted for less than 1% of Turkey's 60 bcm national consumption in 2021.

The natural gas price hike comes just over a year after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan pledged to supply free gas to households during his re-election campaigns last year.

“We will provide free natural gas for household consumption up to 25 cubic meters monthly for one year,” Mr Erdogan said at the inauguration of the onshore natural gas port in the northern province of Zonguldak.

Turkey discovered Natural gas at the Sakarya field off the coast of Zonguldak in 2020, and at the adjacent Caycuma-1 field in 2023, with total volumes having since been estimated at 710 billion cubic meters (bcm).

Erdogan said Turkey's Black Sea gas fields would initially produce 10 million cubic meters of gas per day before ramping up production to 40 million cubic meters per day.

“When we reach full capacity, we will be able to meet approximately 30 per cent of domestic consumption yearly from here,” Erdogan said.
