Turkish people will no longer ‘fall back’ after a decree regarding daylight saving time (DST) throughout the year in Turkey has been published on the Official Gazette on Today, putting an end to adjusting the clocks every spring and fall seasons to utilize daylight.
Decree no. 24005 dated September 6, 2016, issued by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources amended the second article of the Law Regarding the 24-Hour Day. The clause specifying the end of daylight savings time on October 30, 2016 as of 4 a.m. local time has been repealed accordingly. Turkey saves about 800 million to 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity through the daylight saving time, equivalent to the annual power production of a mid-level hydroelectric power plant.
