However, especially during these difficult times for our country, we observe that the increase in industrial electricity unit prices continues. Son 2 yılda sanayi elektriği birim fiyatları %110 artmış This has caused our businesses to lose their competitiveness in the international arena. While the increase in electricity unit prices negatively affects the entire manufacturing industry, energy-intensive sectors such as the plastics industry feel this effect much more severely.
