Background on Plant

Papatya Elektrik Üretim has proposed a 2 x 660 MW coal plant in Arsuz, İskenderun.

The power station's EIA was rejected in July 2017, and the plant is no longer on the Turkey Energy Market Regulatory Authority website seeking a generation license. The project appears to be shelved.
