This year, we will invest 98 million lira in Bodrum, 63 million lira in Fethiye, 55 million lira in Milas, 56 million lira in Kuşadası and 31 million lira in Didime.

As Turkey entered a 9-day holiday, local and foreign tourists began to flock to tourism regions. The increasing population in tourism regions will cause a 10-14 percent increase in energy consumption in popular holiday destinations such as Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Didim, Kuşadası, Çeşme, Foça and Dikili. The number of teams on site for fault repair purposes in holiday regions will be increased.

As the 9-day holiday coincides with July, there will be an influx of tourists to the coastal cities, while energy consumption in holiday spots will increase by 10-14 percent in these 9 days compared to normal times.

NUMBER OF TEAM INCREASED BY 30 PERCENT

Gdz Elektrik General Manager Uğur Yüksel stated that they foresee a 10 percent increase in energy consumption during the 9-day holiday period in Çeşme, Foça, Seferihisar, Urla and Dikili, which are located in their areas of responsibility. Yüksel said, “Since energy demands will be much higher than normal on the coastline where our holiday regions are concentrated, we have made the necessary preparations in our electricity distribution networks. "In addition, in case of need, additional mobile capacities will be provided thanks to 7 mobile transformers and distribution centers with a total power of 8,000 kVA and 8 mobile generators with a total power of 2,000 kVA," he said.

Yüksel noted that they will increase their field team capacity by 30 percent during the holiday for immediate response to power outages that may occur in the districts in question and for fault repairs.

Yüksel explained that they will make an investment of 146 million liras in 2021, increasing the investment amount to approximately 2.5 times in the tourism regions in their areas of responsibility.
