📝 Notes & Considerations


  • Rates are tiered and/or time-dependent; what you pay depends on usage and meter type.

  • Exchange rates fluctuate—my euro conversions use a rough rate (~44 TL = €1).

  • These figures reflect April  2025 updates; always check your actual Kib‑Tek invoice or website for the most current tariffs.

  • Kib-Tek have a policy of disconnecting any property that has an outstanding bill of >670TL for more than 30 days.


✅ Final Takeaway


In Northern Cyprus, electricity costs range roughly from €0.09–€0.31/kWh, with tiered rates making higher usage notably more expensive. This is broadly comparable to—but usually a little lower than—the Republic of Cyprus rate (~€0.32/kWh).
