Some national or international problems cause great changes in electricity consumption. The effects
of these problems on electricity consumption should be well studied. With the appearance of Covid19 in Turkey, there have been some changes in electricity consumption. This unexpected event caused
restrictions, bans, some changes in working hours and economic difficulties. People started to work
from home, could not go out at certain hours, working hours decreased and production in factories
slowed down. With these developments, reductions and differentiations in electricity consumption
have been observed. These changes, which return to normal after a certain period of time, are
frequently discussed, interpreted and solutions are offered. It is important to detect changes in
electricity consumption. Because these data are needed both in determining the actions we need to
take for the period we live in and in determining the scenarios that can be experienced for the future
periods. In this study, the changes caused by Covid-19 in Turkey's electricity consumption values were
examined. Sudden peaks, total consumption, export values, monthly changes, unexpected movements
on electricity groups are compared with the previous years. It is aimed to have foresight for the
changes that a global epidemic like Covid-19 or an unexpected global event may cause in electricity
consumption.
