It is true that there are no electricity meters on the island at the moment.

Some builders are making arrangements with Kibtek for a temporary connection.

Can you ask your builder to advise you on this?

Or your advocate, because in your sales agreement there could be a clause that you make your final payment on completion - and completion is when everything is finished including the electricity supply.

thanks for answering but can you ,if you know it ,tell me how much does it cost for the connection and prices for temporary conection - my builder told me we have to wait for the result of commission after the control has been done - but nobody gives me delay and it worries me

Some people on this forum were paying only about 180YTL for the connection last year when meters were available.

A few have mentioned £250-£500.

If the electricity has to be brought to your house from somewhere else it could cost about £3000.



Does anyone else have more specific information?? Especially in relation to a temporary connection?

We will be on temp electric at a cost of 115ytl per month.

Developers say we may get our meter in April.

Have also been told meter connection 180ytl if you have a guarantor. 540ytl if you dont.!!!!!

Has anyone else heard this.

Taken to Kibtek by our builder on 7/2/08. Paid 180 ytl which we presumed was for metre connection. Electricity now in our name. Told when discusssing purchase that the cost for all connections/transformer to each apartment would be £800 each between 12 apartments. This is what it turned out to be.
