Planned power cuts will affect parts of 23 districts on Istanbul’s European side on Monday, 9 November, according to BEDAŞ schedules reported on Sunday evening by Onedio and Bursa Saati. Both outlets published the same district list.
BEDAŞ (Boğaziçi Elektrik Dağıtım) runs the electricity distribution grid on the European side of the city, while AYEDAŞ covers the Anatolian (Asian) side. Neither outlet listed any Anatolian-side districts for Monday.
Update, 9 November, 08:10: Neighbourhood details for some of Monday’s BEDAŞ cuts have now been published. Both Genç Gazete and Manşet Haber list Denizköşkler in Avcılar from 09:00 to 17:00 and parts of the Fatih and 15 Temmuz neighbourhoods of Bağcılar from 09:00 to 17:00. The two lists do not match for the other districts, so residents elsewhere should check their own address on BEDAŞ’s outage page. (Sources: Genç Gazete, Manşet Haber.)
Districts on the list
The 23 districts are:
- Arnavutköy, Avcılar, Bağcılar, Bahçelievler, Bakırköy
- Bayrampaşa, Beşiktaş, Beylikdüzü, Beyoğlu, Büyükçekmece
- Çatalca, Esenyurt, Eyüpsultan, Fatih, Gaziosmanpaşa
- Güngören, Kağıthane, Küçükçekmece, Sarıyer, Silivri
- Sultangazi, Şişli, Zeytinburnu
Neighbourhood details not yet available
Both reports say the cuts will hit only certain neighbourhoods and streets in these districts, not whole districts, and that the hours differ from area to area. Neither gave neighbourhood, street or hour details, so we cannot yet say which addresses will lose power or for how long.
BEDAŞ’s website has a planned outage section where residents can look up cuts for their own address by choosing the district, neighbourhood and street, according to Bursa Saati and Habertürk.
Monday also brings scheduled cuts on the coast: see our lists for Antalya, İzmir and Muğla. For more on day-to-day life in the city, see our guide to living in Istanbul.
