Overview

All operational coal-fired power stations in Turkey with a capacity over 50 MW are listed below.

At the end of 2019, five coal-fired power plants were shut down to reduce air pollution, leaving the total installed capacity of coal-fired power at approximately 17 GW, with an additional 1.3 GW under construction. Despite efforts to reduce pollution, the government may continue to subsidize some of the most polluting plants in 2020. In 2019, nearly 500 million lira was paid in subsidies to these plants.

In 2017, electricity generation from imported hard coal amounted to 51 TWh, while local coal, which is predominantly [lignite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignite), produced 44 TWh of electricity.

Environmental Impact

The environmental impact of coal-fired power stations is significant, with hard coal estimated to emit 1126 g CO2-eq./kWh and lignite 1062 g CO2-eq./kWh, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

Key Points:

Installed Capacity: As of the end of 2019, Turkey's coal-fired power stations had a total installed capacity of approximately 17 GW, with some additional capacity under construction.

Subsidies: Despite efforts to curb pollution, some of the most polluting plants received government subsidies, with almost 500 million lira paid in 2019.

Electricity Generation: In 2017, hard coal generated 51 TWh, and local lignite generated 44 TWh of electricity.

Emissions: Hard coal and lignite are significant sources of CO2 emissions, with estimated emissions of 1126 g CO2-eq./kWh and 1062 g CO2-eq./kWh, respectively.

For more information on the environmental impact and the role of coal in Turkey's energy sector, see [Coal in Turkey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_in_Turkey).

Natural Gas

[edit]

In 2020 about 68 TWh of electricity was generated from gas.[9] As of 2021, according to the head of the Electricity Producers’ Association, natural gas plants do not have enough money for maintenance work.[10]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Many of the values in the column for lignite power stations must be too low: this is partly because Carbon Brief has not taken into account the actual generation: this can be seen by the routine calculation of dividing the number in the generation column of List of active coal-fired power stations in Turkey by 1000 (because the average emission factor is 31 tCO2/TJ for Turkish lignite,[2] so it must emit well over 1000g CO2 per kWh) and noticing that it is larger than the number in this column. Similarly the value for Çatalağzı may be too high.
