List of power stations in Turkey

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.[17] As of 2021, according to the head of the Electricity Producers’ Association, natural gas plants do not have enough money for maintenance work.[18]

As of 2022, there were 280 wind farms in Turkey, of which 280 were active in production with a total installed capacity of 10.592 GW more than 10% of the total installed power capacity of the country.[24]

Notes

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,[10] 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.
