Location
The undated satellite photo below shows the Bursa Keleş lignite coal mine, which is near Keleş town, Keleş district, Bursa province. The coal plant would presumably be built near the mine.
Background on Plant
In July 2013, the state-owned Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKI) announced that it had awarded Çelikler Elektrik Üretim a contract to build a 270-MW coal-fired power plant near its Bursa-Keleş coal mine. Çelikler has applied for environmental permits for the plant.[2][3]
There have been protests in Keleş since at least 2007 against the proposed construction of a coal plant in the area, with local peasants and civil society organizations playing a leading role.[4][1]
