Coal-fired Power Stations In Turkey
This list attempts to include all plants which generate coal power in Turkey including autoproducers. All coal-fired power stations which sent power to the grid in 2020 are listed below. In 2018 there were 300 MW of unlicensed thermal power stations (a licence is not required if no power is sent to the grid) but it is not known whether any of them were coal-fired.

Coal Power In Turkey
Coal in Turkey generates between a quarter and a third of the nation's electricity. There are 54 active coal-fired power stations with a total capacity of 21 gigawatts ( GW). Air pollution from coal-fired power stations is damaging public health, and it is estimated that a coal phase-out by 2030 instead of by the 2050s would save over 100 thousand lives. Flue gas emission limits were improved in 2020, but data from mandatory reporting of emission levels is not made public. Turkey has not ratified the Gothenburg Protocol, which limits fine dust polluting other countries. Turkey's coal is almost all low calorie lignite, but government policy supports its continued use. In contrast Germany is closing lignite-fired stations under 150 MW. Drought in Turkey is frequent, but thermal power stations use significant amounts of water. Coal-fired power stations are the largest source of greenhouse gas. Coal-fired stations emit over 1 kg of carbon dioxide for every kilowatt hour ...

Kemerköy Power Station
Kemerköy power station is a 630 MW coal-fired power station in Turkey in Kemerköy, Muğla, completed in 1985, which burns lignite mined locally. Originally state owned by Electricity Generation Company it was sold in 2014 to Limak- IC İçtaş. In 2020 it received 140 million lira ($) capacity payments. The area is a sulfur dioxide air pollution hotspot and the air pollution caused by Kemerköy and neighboring Yatağan power station and Yeniköy power station is estimated to have caused 45,000 premature deaths. It is estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends in 2063, would prevent over 5000 premature deaths. In 2019 local people protested against 48 villages being destroyed by expansion of the mine feeding the plant. The company has been granted a permit to cut down Akbelen Forest to make way for the mine expansion, but in 2021 inhabitant of İkizköy village continue to protest and filed a lawsuit claiming that the permit should not have b ...

Megawatt
The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of Power (physics), power or radiant flux in the International System of Units, International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3. It is used to quantification (science), quantify the rate of Energy transformation, energy transfer. The watt is named after James Watt (1736–1819), an 18th-century Scottish people, Scottish invention, inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved the Newcomen steam engine, Newcomen engine with his own Watt steam engine, steam engine in 1776. Watt's invention was fundamental for the Industrial Revolution. Overview When an object's velocity is held constant at one metre per second against a constant opposing force of one Newton (unit), newton, the rate at which Work (physics), work is done is one watt. : \mathrm In terms of electromagnetism, one watt is the rate at which electrical work is performed when a current of one ampere (A) flows across an electrical potentia ...

ZETES Power Stations
The Zonguldak Eren Termik Santrali (ZETES) power stations in Zonguldak are 3 coal-fired power stations in Turkey totaling 2790 MW owned by Eren Holding via Eren Enerji. Built between 2010 and 2016, ZETES-1 is 160 MW, ZETES-2 is 1230 MW and ZETES-3 is 1400 MW. Together they are the largest installed capacity coal-fired power stations in Turkey and are estimated to emit 10.25 million tons (Mt) CO2 per year, over 2% of Turkey's greenhouse gas emissions. Located within about a kilometer of each other and the Black Sea the plants burn bituminous coal imported via the nearby Eren Port. ZETES-3 was financed by IşBank and Garanti Bank. The plants received 13 million lira capacity payments in 2018, and 10 million lira in 2019. In 2022 the plants generated 16,152 GWh of electricity. Assuming the emission factor (872g CO2eq per KWh in 2020) had not changed much that resulted in 16152 X 872 = about 14 million tons of CO2eq. Their licences end in 2053. For ZETES-1 it is ...

Şırnak Silopi Power Station
Şırnak Silopi power station ( tr, Şırnak-Silopi Termik Santralı) is a 405 MW operational power station in Silopi, in Şırnak Province in the south-east of Turkey. It is fuelled with asphaltite. Operation The plant was built in the early 21st century by Silopi Electric, which is part of the Ciner Group. It is fuelled with asphaltite from a nearby mine and serves over 650,000 people. Although its fuel is technically not coal it is regulated similarly; for example, the mining rights were tendered by TKİ, the state Turkish Coal Operations Authority. In 2020 the mining company said it planned an increase from 80 thousand tonnes per year to 250 thousand. Since the plant is further to the south-east than other fossil fuel power stations in Turkey, interconnection with the electricity sector in Iraq may be possible. Despite abundant local renewable resources, under the energy policy of Turkey the plant is subsidised: it received capacity payments of 45 million lira in 2018, ...
