The most important power stations in Turkey are listed here. Turkey generates about 300 TWh of electricity per year.

High carbon emissions

Coal

All operational coal-fired power stations over 50MW are listed below.

Five plants were shut down at the end of 2019 to reduce air pollution, [1] leaving total installed capacity at about 17 GW, with 1.3 GW under construction. [2] However, [3] government may continue subsidizing some of the most polluting plants in 2020. [4] [5] In 2019 almost 500 million lira was paid to them. [6]

In 2017, imported hard coal generated 51 TWh and local coal (almost all lignite) 44 TWh of electricity. [7]

Hard coal is estimated to emit 1126 g CO2-eq./kWh and lignite 1062 g CO2-eq./kWh. [8]

Medium carbon emissions

Natural gas

In 2020, about 68 TWh of electricity was generated from gas. [15] As of 2021, according to the head of the Electricity Producers’ Association, natural gas plants did not have enough money for maintenance work. [16]

Notes

  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,'"`UNIQ--ref-0000001E-QINU`"' 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.
