Background on Plant
In 2011, Chinese company Zhejiang Provincial Energy Group and Turkish coal mining company Polat Madencilik applied to Turkey's Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) to build coal mining and coal-fired power plant operations in the Kınık district of Turkey's İzmir province. The two companies created the partnership Polyak Eynez Enerji for purposes of the project, and announced the project in September, stating that the project would be completed by 2016.[2][3]
The environmental permitting process for the plant began in 2013 with public consultation, and the plant was previously announced as 647 MW.[4]
In 2014, rehabilitation for Kınık Lignite Mine that is planned to be near Değirmencieli village started, the mine was expected to be in operation nu 2019.[5][6]
In 2015, the environmental permitting process started[7] with the increased capacity of 700 MW (2 units), generation pre-licence was also awarded.[8] The plant received the "EIA positive" decision as a final environmental approval in April 2017,[9] and also generation licence in July 2017 which is valid until 2068.[3]
In late 2017 it was reported that Polyak Eynez (now part-owned by FİBA Group) would be investing 1 billion USD with the mine due 2018 and the 700 MW power plant 2021.[10]
In 2018 it was reported that 350 Chinese workers are working at the mining area under bad conditions.[11]
