Toroslar EDAŞ

What Toroslar EDAŞ does

Toroslar EDAŞ (legal name: Toroslar Elektrik Dağıtım Anonim Şirketi) is a privately held, regulated electricity distribution utility operating under an exclusive license granted by Turkey's Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA / Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu). The company operates the distribution grid across six provinces in southern Turkey — Adana, Osmaniye, Gaziantep, Mersin, Kilis, and Hatay — serving a population of more than 8.5 million. As a licensed distribution system operator, its functional role is the construction, maintenance, and operation of medium- and low-voltage electricity distribution infrastructure connecting end consumers to the transmission grid.

The company's core technical assets are its physical distribution network and the operational technology layer overlaid on it: OSOS (Otomatik Sayaç Okuma Sistemi / Automatic Meter Reading System) for remote smart metering, and SCADA for real-time grid monitoring and control. On the customer-facing side, Toroslar EDAŞ operates a multi-channel digital service stack anchored by an online self-service portal, the Mobil 186 mobile application, a WhatsApp business support line (0322 186 00 00), a 186 24/7 call center, and seven physical Customer Service Centers (Kullanıcı Hizmetleri Merkezleri) across the franchise. Customer-facing services span outage inquiry, fault reporting, new connection applications, meter reading submission, damage/compensation claims, electricity-theft reporting, EV charging station connection applications, and unlicensed generation applications.

Toroslar EDAŞ earns revenue primarily through EMRA-regulated distribution tariffs tied to electricity volume distributed, supplemented by regulated connection fees (Bağlantı Bedeli) for new customer installations and EMRA-set technical quality measurement service fees. The customer base is highly distributed across residential consumers, commercial and industrial users, agricultural/irrigation consumers, EV charging infrastructure operators, and municipalities and public institutions. With 485 employees, the company operates in a capital-intensive but headcount-lean model, with a workforce scaled to manage a regulated asset-heavy network rather than a volume sales force.

Revenue model

1. Electricity Distribution Tariffs: As a regulated electricity distribution utility, Toroslar EDAŞ earns revenue through distribution tariffs regulated by EMRA (Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu / Energy Market Regulatory Authority). These tariffs cover the cost of operating and maintaining the electricity distribution grid, investing in infrastructure, and providing customer services. Revenue is volume-based, proportional to the electricity distributed through the grid.
2. Connection and System Use Fees: Connection fees (Bağlantı Bedeli) are charged for connecting new customer installations to the distribution network. These are calculated based on connection power capacity (kW), distance to the network, and whether underground or overhead lines are used, per EPDK unit rates. System use fees are charged for ongoing use of the distribution infrastructure.
3. Technical Quality Measurement Services: Fees charged for user-requested technical quality measurements on the electricity distribution system (e.g., voltage quality, power quality analysis). Fees vary by device class (S-class or A-class) and voltage level (AG/OG), as set by EMRA.
