Yunus Emre power station is a coal-fired power station in Turkey in Eskişehir Province.[1][2][3][4] As of 2023[update] it is partially operational.[5]
The power station was originally owned by Adularya Energy, one of the Naksan Holding companies.[6]: 68 An environmental impact assessment was done in 2009.[7] Adularya contracted with the builders in 2010 and construction started in 2011.[2]
The power station was financed by the Czech Export Bank,[6]: 59 which loaned 433 million euros interest free,[3] with export guarantee from the Export Guarantee and Insurance Corporation.[8] After the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt Naksan Holding was confiscated for allegedly helping to finance the attempt.[3] The Savings Deposit Insurance Fund made several attempts to reprivatize the power station and eventually sold it to Doruk (part of Yıldızlar SSS Holding).[9]: 17
All the lignite is mined locally then washed.[6]: 41 The 2 units of 145 MW each are fluidized bed with electrostatic precipitators to control dust emissions. The plant was built with desulphurisation technology (Andritz dry FGD (Turbo-CDS) which was up to EU standard in 2014[6]: 64 ) but without controls on emissions of nitrogen oxides. No electricity was generated in 2019.[10]: 39 Two million tonnes of lignite can be burned each year and net generation efficiency was estimated at 35%.[3] The engineering, procurement, and construction contractor was Czech company Vitkovice Power Engineering.[6]: 59 Electrical and control equipment was supplied by ABB.[11] An ash pond was constructed.[12] Although Turkey's net zero target is the year 2053[13] the power station is licensed to 2054.[14]
