Natural gas prices for electricity production were cut by 12.73 per cent, Erdogan said, adding that electricity prices would fall by 16 per cent for industrial users, a measure announced by the head of the EPDK energy regulator on Friday.

Erdogan added that natural gas prices for places of worship would fall 42.73 per cent, effective January 1.
