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.

This article is about power stations owned by Eren. For a power station owned by Aydem, see Çatalağzı power station.

Built between 2010 and 2016, ZETES-1 is 160 MW, ZETES-2 is 1230 MW and ZETES-3 is 1400 MW.[1] 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,[2] 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.[3]

The plants received 13 million lira capacity payments in 2018,[4] and 10 million lira in 2019.[5]

In 2022 the plants generated 16,152 GWh of electricity.[6] Assuming the emission factor (872g CO2eq per KWh in 2020[7]) 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 estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends, would prevent over 1000 premature deaths. For ZETES-2 it is estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends, would prevent over 4000 premature deaths. For ZETES-3 it is estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends, would prevent over 5000 premature deaths.[8]
