Kibkom North Cyprus Forum

Any one actually managed this changing to the new tariff system. I have just been to my local Kibtrek office not got a clue. Shame they don’t tell there employees. Can you phone and change it if so has anyone got the no

I cant belive no one knows more about this.

I actually called Kibtek and the girl said i got to go to the shop. I said i have done this and don’t know anything about it. She said it’s to expensive anyway. So i said i want to do it. She took my email address and sent me the new tariffs that’s it . So how the hell are you supposed to do it

Anyone had any success with this

I've just been looking at i with a view to doing it, It does seem expensive because it is stating STG not TL ? Does any one have anymore information please. ?

Why on earth should it be in sterling, the local Joe Blogs don't work or paid in sterling. Utilities should be in coin of the realm surely.

I got sent its in tl might as well be in moon gold because nobody can tell or know what to do

My text is in STG only. I don't know how to photograph to put on here. Consumers wishing to switch etc.etc. Oct. 16 until May 15. etc. pounds STG ( It shows the pound sign but there's not one on my keyboard) pa 3.32 KWh between 7 am and 5 pm
4.60 per KWh peak 5pm to 10 pm 2.19 10 pm to 7.00 am All shown with Pound sign prefix. No mention of T.L.

That’s different to the mail they sent me the lowest tariff 2.45tl from 10 pm

Copied/summarised from Cyprus Today, from Nov 01 -

WINTER PERIOD, which lasts until May 15 -
Normal (07:00 - 17:00) 3.3285 TL per Kilowatt Hour
Peak Time (17:00 - 22:00) 4.646 TL per kWh
Off Peak (22:00 - 07:00) 2.1941 TL per kwh
No different times or rates for usage on weekends or public holidays.
The above rates do not include other costs added to electricity bills, such as the “fixed fee”, street lighting, potential “fuel” fees, and KDV (VAT).
According to the information in the Official Gazette, consumers can change their tariffs a maximum of twice a year.

When you say change their tariff , do you mean I can choose to change my off peak time to what is classed as peak time on the above and what is a "fuel" fee.

"consumers can change their tariffs" means choosing between a tariff that charges different prices depending on AMOUNT of electricity used as opposed to a tariff that charges different prices depending on TIME OF DAY when electricity used - no, YOU can't change when and/or how much THEY charge you....
And fuel fee is/was a one-off thing they added in last May's bill and refunded the next month after protests...

You can choose now to go on the tariff like before witch changes 3 times a day. It was printed in the Cyprus TODAY on Saturday. I called kibtek and they sent it to me so it must be true. But as I said nobody knows how to do it

Hi, I suspect the document you have used Google Translate or similar to produce the English Language version, and it altered the currency sign but obviously without changing the numbers in line with the exchange rate - the numbers show a strong correlation to the Turkish version in TL...

I've noticed that some websites such as kktcarabam.com do the same thing.

I think that you can be fairly certain that the figures quoted are actually TL and not GBP.

Does anyone know if the cost of the KWh is staying the same if you don’t change to the new tariffs ? It’s 1.611 tl for the first 250 KWh at the moment

There's been nothing in the recent announcements about that.

Kieth I did not translate it , It is a direct TEXT MESSAGE from Kibtec the same system that my monthly bill comes through on. Regards Lee. I just took a screen shot of it.

Hi Lee, I didn't mean that you translated it yourself - rather that it had been translated from the original Turkish to English, & that whoever had done so had probably used Google Translate or something similar, because the same thing happens if Google Translate is used on some websites to provide an English version - I think that it's a 'bug' in the system.

The point that I was trying to get across is that the versions that people have seen which actually use 'TL' as the currency have almost identical numbers to your version - so I conclude that yours should say TL and not GBP.

I'm still not sure that I've explained that properly!

Yes I understand you Kieth and I did notice that myself about the similarity of figures, But this is the TRNC and you never know. Our property and land is in our Limited Company name , and some things we have to pay can differ.

Regards Lee.

welll 560tl last month 1200tl this month !!!!!!!!!!!!!
