Turkey Investigates Power Firms Over Grid Adjustment Failures

Imagine the power grid as a seesaw, and energy producers are trying to keep it balanced.

Turkey's energy regulator is checking if 66 power companies followed the rules to keep the power supply steady between 2020 and 2024.

These companies, mainly using gas and hydropower, were supposed to adjust how much electricity they produce.

If they didn't follow orders, it could cost more to balance the grid.

The companies say sometimes it's hard because of how long it takes to start or stop their power plants.

Now, the companies may face fines or even lose their licenses if they broke the rules.
