The most important power stations in Turkey are listed here. For a more complete list please see the World Resources Institute "Global Power Plant Database".[1] Turkey generates about 300 TWh of electricity per year.

High Carbon Emissions[]

Coal[]

For more details and a complete list of operational stations, see list of active coal fired power stations in Turkey.
See also: Coal in Turkey and Category:Coal mines in Turkey

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

Five plants were shutdown at the end of 2019 to reduce air pollution,[2] leaving total installed capacity at about 17 GW, with 1.3 GW under construction.[3] However[4] government may continue subsidizing some of the most polluting plants in 2020.[5][6] In 2019 almost 500 million lira was paid to them.[7]

In 2017 imported hard coal generated 51 TWh and local coal (almost all lignite) 44 TWh of electricity.[8]

Hard coal is estimated to emit 1126 g CO2-eq./kWh and lignite 1062 g CO2-eq./kWh.[9]

Medium Carbon Emissions[]

Natural Gas[]

In 2020 about 68 TWh of electricity was generated from gas.[18] As of 2021, according to the head of the Electricity Producers’ Association, natural gas plants do not have enough money for maintenance work.[19]

As of 2015, there were 172 wind farms in Turkey, of which 171 were active in production with a total installed capacity of 6.195 GW making out 7.7% of the total installed power capacity of the country. The generated electricity was 15.685 TWh in 2016, which supplied 6% of the total electrical energy consumption.[26]

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,[11] 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.
