Background

In December 2011, Galata Enerji (a subsidiary of Global Yatırım Holding) signed a construction contract with China National Electric Engineering Company to build a two-unit, 270-MW, $500-million mine-to-mouth coal-fired power plant near the Şırnak Toptepe asphaltite coal mine in Şırnak province.[1][2][3]

In December 2013, the Akkök Group bought a 55% share in the project. With this additional investment, the project appears to now be moving forward.[4][5]

In December 2014 the project owners said they were ready to move forward with construction of the 270 MW coal project, planned for completion by 2017.[6]

In June 2014 it was reported that the project was shelved,[7] and Galata Enerji had returned the production license to EPDK.[8]
