Background on Plant

Hema Elektrik, a subsidiary of Hattat Holding, is currently planning to build a 150-MW, mine-to-mouth coal-fired power plant near the company's Kandilli underground coal mine in northern Zonguldak province. The application for the plant's environmental permits was filed in October 2012; the company currently has until May 2014 to submit additional parts of its environmental permit application.

Opposition

Local elected officials and residents have been trying to stop the proposed plant, along with the nearby 1,300-MW Kireclik Thermal Power Plant. A public hearing held in October 2010 was especially contentious.
