The Turkish official gazette published a decision today, Monday, stating that households and places of worship will receive natural gas for free. The "Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources" will cover the initial bills for natural gas consumption in homes and worship sites. According to the presidential decree, 25 cubic meters of natural gas used for cooking, hot water, and in places of worship and residences will be free until May 1, 2024. About a year ago, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan promised to provide natural gas for free to households when he inaugurated the first shipment of natural gas to a floating terminal from reserves discovered in the Black Sea. This decision coincided with the presidential election at that time.
