Otherwise, Yüksel pointed out that all the burden of pre-bought natural gas remained to the distributor companies, adding that they made an additional difference of 12.7 million TL subscribers due to hikes in the past year and made a return of 21.2 million TL due to the 10 percent discount made in January last year. Yüksel stated that they paid the debt to BOTAŞ in advance, but they could not collect the amount of 3.8 million lira because they did not load 200 thousand subscribers to their cards, and these subscribers would give 3.8 million lira less gas in their first gas filling.

Başkentgaz General Manager Asım Yüksel reminded us of the remarkable natural gas bills: “We, as a company, are intermediaries. We take the gas from one place and deliver it to another place. We do not set prices. Naturally, gas bills rose when the supplier’s gas price increased. ” Yüksel added to the question that some low-income citizens had to switch to alternative energies such as electricity and coal due to the high bills, saying, “There are around 200 thousand subscribers per year due to moving in Ankara.
