Inevitably, expectations arise in the public. Our President has support regarding electricity and natural gas within the subsidized approach. We wish we could give it away for free. 600 million TL was lost with the fixing, now we say let's make a 20 percent discount. Let's support the fight against inflation. Another 500 million TL is lost in this regard. We cannot ignore people's investment expectations. We make sacrifices in this process, and at the same time, we continue our investments in solar energy and wind power plants. We show our will to become self-sufficient institutions. With your permission, we will give you a 20 percent discount. I am stating that water bills to be paid starting from the 1st of February will be discounted by 2024 percent until the end of 20. Kayseri was previously ranked 30th among 15 metropolitan cities in terms of water prices, but with this discount it fell to 22nd place. "The price per cubic meter of water drops to 17,48 TL."
