Energy consumption in the service and trade sector has been revealed: 485 thousand terajoules

Turkey’s service and trade sector consumed 485,413 terajoules of final energy in the latest TÜİK data, the Turkish statistics agency reported. The figure covers combined service- and trade-sector energy use and provides a benchmark for one of the economy’s largest non-industrial energy consumers. The release matters because energy costs and efficiency in services and commerce feed directly into inflation and operating margins. What to watch next is whether TÜİK publishes a breakdown by sub-sector and year-over-year comparison, which would show whether consumption is rising or easing.
