This regulation introduces targeted changes to Turkey's Electricity Market Measurement Systems Regulation. Key updates include shifting responsibility for certain measurement devices at distribution network connection points to the distribution system operator. For generation facilities connecting to the transmission system, users must supply meters and modems within their property boundaries, which will then be installed by TEİAŞ. Communication units procured under the TEDAŞ-MLZ/2019-064.A specification can only be installed after 1 March 2026 in accordance with smart metering system rules. Deadlines for bringing certain meters into regulatory compliance for use in transmission fees and settlement calculations have been extended to 1 January 2027. The regulation also updates and removes certain transitional provisions originally set for early 2026.
