Privately Operated Thermal Power Plants in Turkey

Dear Energy Professional, Dear Colleagues,

In Chamber of Mechanical Engineers, we have initiated to list the important big size (>35MWe) thermal power plants in operation, in construction and in project design phases in the local market. Public owned thermal power list was relatively easy since it was tabulated by EUAS and details were made public. It was hard to find the design parameters of privately owned thermal power plants. In order to collect the latest figures for the private enterprises, we have sourced the latest information which are released in EPDK and their own web sites. Here is the latest list,

Thermal power plants currently in operation, in order of magnitude,
