Background on Plant
Kirazlıdere power complex is owned by Filiz Enerji which is now a subsidiary of Yıldırım Group.[2] There used to be some references that Kirazlıdere power complex received the generation licence for the 1st unit in 2010[3] and for the 2nd unit in 2012,[4] but these licences are not currently accessible (December 2019 update). It was announced that the permitting process of the plant was started by Doğtaş (a subsidiary of Doğanlar Holding) in the name of Filiz Enerji[5] and Filiz Enerji became the subsidiary of Yıldırım Group in 2013.[2] The information for EIA and licences below are based on the latest accessible references to and datasets relevant to Filiz Enerji, Yıldırım Group.
Environmental permission process for two units of Kirazlıdere power complex started individually in 2012; for the first unit, EIA report was submitted on 14th September 2012,[6] for the second unit EIA application file (a pre-EIA report file) was submitted on 28th September 2012.[7] "EIA positive decisions" were given to the first unit(600MW) on 14th February 2013,[8] and to the second unit(660MW) on 14th June 2013.[8] Generation licences was given to the first unit on 7th March 2013,[9] and the pre-generation licence was given to the second unit on 3r March 2014.[10] In 2015, EMRA combined individual generation licenses for both units and announced it as 1,260 MW (600MW+660MW).[1] EIA positive decisions for the first unit was cancelled on December 2014 after legal cases.[11] New EIA reports for the first and the second units received positive decisions individually on 5th May 2015.[1]
At the end of 2015, the company decided to change the technology from ultra-critic to the ultra-super critic to meet the international finance and credit requirements of E.C.A. - Export Credit Agency that resulted in the capacity increase from 1,260 MW to 1,600 MW (2 unitsx800MW).[1] As this capacity increase requires revision of filtration system, fill-area and cooling water, the new EIA process started in 2016.[1] The permitting process was paused for 2 months in April 2017 after the board of inspection and survey meeting as the company was requested to complete the missing parts in the air pollution modelling.[12] On 18th August 2017, another board of inspection and survey meeting was held, where many NGOs objected on health grounds, and claimed that emissions from the plant would exceed new EU limits.[13] Legal cases against the new EIA report were dismissed, on 3rd October 2017 the final EIA report for unit 1 and unit 2 combined, with 1,600 MW total capacity, was accepted.[14] However, the generation licence is valid for 1,260 MW.[9]
Environmental Impact
Environment and health groups claimed that emissions from the plant would exceed new EU limits[15] and called for cumulative air pollution assessment.[16]
Coal
Coal for the plant will be provided by YIlliak A.Ş., a Yıldırım Group company, from the YCCX coal mine company in Colombia. It will be shipped with a Newcastlemax ship capable of carrying 200,000 tons of freight at Yıldırım Shipping Inc., a Yıldırım Group company.[17]
