Sedas

What Sedas does

Sedas (Sakarya Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş.) is a privately held, regulated electricity distribution company headquartered in Sakarya, Turkey, founded in 1985 and operating under EPDK (Energy Market Regulatory Authority) oversight. The company holds an exclusive license to distribute electricity across five northwestern provinces — Sakarya, Kocaeli, Bolu, Düzce, and Gebze (the latter being part of Kocaeli) — serving approximately 1.5 million residential, commercial, and industrial subscribers in Turkey's industrial Marmara heartland.

Sedas's core product is regulated electricity distribution, supported by an operational technology stack comprising SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) for real-time network monitoring and OSOS (Otomatik Sayaç Okuma Sistemi / Automated Meter Reading System) for remote consumption data collection. On the customer-facing side, the company operates an online transaction portal (portal.sedas.com), the SEDAŞ Mobil mobile application on iOS and Android, a 186 call center for outage reporting, a WhatsApp service line, and physical customer service offices. Additional service lines include subscription management, free-consumer (Serbest Tüketici) supplier-choice services, unlicensed (small-scale renewable) generation connections, and a compensation inquiry portal (tazminat.sedas.com). Sedas also runs the Stargate Yetenek Programı, a structured engineering-student talent pipeline.

Sedas's revenue model is primarily based on EPDK-regulated distribution tariffs applied to all electricity consumers within its licensed territory, supplemented by subscription and connection fees, transaction fees from online bill payment processing, and ancillary services tied to authorized electrical installation certification and renewable generation interconnection. Customer segments are horizontally distributed across individual residential, corporate/industrial (with dedicated SCADA connectivity and account management), licensed electrical installers, and unlicensed (renewable) electricity producers.
