Türkiye’s preliminary day-ahead power price reaches TL3,105.82/MWh for 7 October

What happened

Türkiye’s day-ahead electricity market has set a preliminary arithmetic-average market clearing price of TL3,105.82/MWh for power delivered on 7 October 2026. The spot market is run by Energy Exchange Istanbul, or EPİAŞ, according to Enerji Günlüğü’s report based on EPİAŞ data.

Hourly values show a wide spread across the delivery day. The maximum is TL4,500/MWh in the 19:00–20:00 interval, while the minimum is TL930/MWh from 12:00 to 13:00. The difference between those two hours is TL3,570/MWh.

For the 08:00–20:00 peak period, the preliminary arithmetic average is TL2,905.21/MWh. Outside those hours, the corresponding average is TL3,306.43/MWh. That makes the reported off-peak average higher than the peak-period average for this delivery day.

Why it matters

The result is the preliminary clearing benchmark for electricity scheduled for delivery on 7 October in Türkiye’s spot market. Buyers, generators and other market participants monitoring short-term exposure should distinguish this preliminary day-ahead result from later market information.

The daily average is 7.69% higher than the TL2,866.91/MWh arithmetic average reported for the preceding day. On a week-on-week comparison, however, it is 3.96% lower than the result for the same day of the previous week.

The hourly profile also concentrates the day’s highest listed price in the early evening, at 19:00–20:00, while the lowest listed price falls at midday. The reported peak and off-peak averages provide an additional view of how pricing differs across the delivery schedule.

What to watch next

The published figures relate specifically to 7 October 2026 delivery and remain described as preliminary. Readers comparing successive day-ahead outcomes can use the prior-day reference points supplied in the report: TL4,000/MWh was the highest hourly price, also at 19:00–20:00, and TL1,844.64/MWh was the lowest, between 12:00 and 13:00.

The next data point to monitor is whether subsequent spot-market results retain the same pattern of an evening high and a midday low, and how the daily arithmetic average changes from this TL3,105.82/MWh level.
