Background on Plant
Cenal Elektrik (a joint venture between Cengiz Holding and Alarko Holding) is currently building a two-unit, 1,320-MW coal-fired power plant along the coast in Çanakkale province.[2][3] The project received its generating license in March 2013; initial site preparation work had already begun at that point.[4]
In July 2013, responding to a lawsuit filed by local groups opposed to the project, a local administrative court voided the approval of the project's EIA, arguing that the EIA's assessment of environmental impacts had been insufficient. The ruling halted construction work on the project. Opponents, who had engaged in several protests against the project, had made several complaints, including that Cenal Elektrik had been illegally beginning work on the project prior to approval.[1][5]
The company responded by dividing the project's EIA approval process into four parts, allowing two to move forward while two others were held up. Several local organizations have filed suit against the Cenal for this move; court battles and protests over the project continue.[6][7][8][9]
