Background

The plant has been proposed by Hakan Enerji, a subsidiary of Hakan Madencilik ve Elektrik Üretim Sanayi Ticaret A.S. The company applied for environmental licensing in August 2010.

On its website the company states that it has applied to the Turkish Energy Market Regulatory Authority for a power generation license for the proposed plant. The company describes the plant as a 100MW plant which would "make use of the coal to be imported from Kemerova, Russian Federation, featuring high calorific value (6,000 kcal/kg min) with low sulfur (0.9% max) and ash (14% max) contents."

The project has been licensed, but the license has been challenged by a lawsuit. Hakan subsidiary Tunas Enerji Elektrik Uretim AS has sought and received a separate license for a 100 MW coal-fired power station at the same site, the Tunas power station. As of May 2016, it appears to Tunas proposal is moving forward and Hakan has been cancelled.
