Financing

• Source of financing: Raiffeisen Bank, UniCredit

Background

In September 2010, Yıldızlar SSS Holding began initial site preparation work for a three-unit, 400-MW, $600 million mine-to-mouth coal-fired power plant in Çankırı province, near Yıldızlar's Çankırı Orta coal mine. Yıldızlar contracted Skoda Power to provide the turbines for the three units in October.

In July 2012, Yıldızlar hired Raiffeisen Bank and UniCredit to underwrite $484 million in loans to finance the plant's construction — seemingly indicating that construction had not yet begun at that point. Since then, there is no news of further construction on the plant, and it is unclear whether or not this project is in fact moving forward.
