Electricity tariffs in Northern Cyprus

Electricity rates in Northern Cyprus are regulated by the state company Kib-Tek — the sole electricity supplier in the TRNC. Prices are revised several times a year and depend on the total consumption. Below are the current rates, as well as useful links for those who want to check bills or pay them online.

Electricity Rates in Northern Cyprus

Up-to-date price information can be found on the Kib-Tek website. Since the data there is only available in Turkish, we provide the current rates below. Prices are listed per 1 kilowatt-hour and are effective from February 1, 2026.

Tip: Northern Cyprus uses a progressive payment scale: the more energy you consume, the higher the rate. To save, turn off appliances completely, do not leave them on standby, and use A++ energy-efficient air conditioners.

Where to Find Electricity Rate Information in the TRNC

The latest information is published on the official Kib-Tek website under the "Tarifeler" section. PDF files with current and past rates can be downloaded there. The last document in the list is the most up-to-date.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electricity in Northern Cyprus

Who to Call in Case of a Power Outage?

If the power goes out, check whether maintenance work is being carried out — this is a common cause of outages. In case of a local failure or delayed payment, you need to contact Kib-Tek. Each region has its own number, which you can find in this article.

How to Pay for Electricity?

You can pay your bill in several ways:

• via the Kib-Tek online service;
• on the Pay Point Cyprus website;
• at Kib-Tek offices and payment points;
• through mobile banking apps of Cypriot banks.

We explain each method in detail in a separate article.

Is It Possible to Install Solar Panels?

Yes, but connection to the Kib-Tek grid requires a permit. If you want to use the system autonomously (for your own home only), a permit is not necessary. Details on installation procedures can be found in the article on solar panels in Northern Cyprus.
