What happened
Türkiye’s spot electricity market recorded a provisional arithmetic average market-clearing price of TL2,873.01/MWh for power supplied on 9 September 2026. Enerji Günlüğü reported the figure from data issued by Energy Exchange Istanbul, or EPİAŞ, which operates the country’s spot power market.
Prices varied substantially across the delivery day. The highest reported hourly price was TL4,100/MWh, applying from 19:00 to 20:00. The lowest was TL1,249.99/MWh, for the 12:00-13:00 interval.
For the 08:00-20:00 peak period, the provisional average came to TL2,684.83/MWh. Outside those hours, the average was TL3,061.20/MWh. The off-peak figure was therefore higher than the average for the designated peak window, despite the day’s maximum occurring in the 19:00-20:00 period.
The reported daily figure is an arithmetic average of the market-clearing prices for the relevant delivery date. The source describes all of the stated averages as unfinalised.
Why it matters
The 9 September average was 23.47% above the preceding day’s level of TL2,198.68/MWh, according to the report. It was also 51.37% higher than the price reported for the equivalent weekday one week earlier.
Intraday pricing moved from a midday low to an evening high, while the off-peak average exceeded the peak-period average. For organisations tracking Türkiye’s short-term wholesale power market, the figures distinguish between the daily mean and the hourly prices that formed it.
The previous day also had a reported hourly maximum of TL4,100/MWh, in the 19:00-20:00 interval. Its lowest hourly price was TL300/MWh, again reported by Enerji Günlüğü from EPİAŞ data.
What to watch next
Readers using the 9 September price should note its provisional status. The supplied report does not give a later confirmed value or indicate any revision to the published market-clearing price.
Further EPİAŞ market data will show whether subsequent delivery-day pricing continues the reported increase against the prior day and the same weekday in the previous week.
