Abstract :In order to reduce the negative impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), which first emerged in Wuhan, China measures such as distance education and curfews were taken by governments to reduce the negative impact on human health. These precautions had an impact on electricity consumption. Turkey was one of the countries adversely affected by COVID-19. Therefore, the objective of this paper analyze the variation of electricity consumption and generation in Turkey depending on the COVID-19 outbreake. For this purpose, residential, industrial, business and total electricity consumption of six provinces was analyzed in order to examine the variation in electricity consumption in Turkey. Considering the ten months of the year, with March when the first case occurred in 2020 compared to 2019, it was observed that residential electricity consumption increased in the six provinces studied. Industrial electricity consumption decreased in March and the following months, but increased in the following months. On the other hand, it was observed that there was a decrease in the business electricity consumption in almost all ten months. In the per capita electricity generation estimation study in Turkey, it was calculated that the electricity generated in 2020 is 5.89% more than the estimated value obtained by the curve fitting method. In addition, according to the study of coverage the electricity consumption and generation per capita for the years 2019 and 2020, it was calculated that generation could not coverage the consumption by 0.22% in 2019 and 0.27% in 2020.
