Background
The Bursa Keles coal mine is a lignite mine, operated by Çelikler Orhaneli Tunçbilek Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. Celikler Insaat, with a capacity of 1.6 million tonnes per annum, near Keleş, Bursa, Turkey.[1]
The mine will power the proposed Bursa power station. In 1979 TKI established Bursa Linyitleri İşletmesi (Bursa Lignite Enterprise) or BLİ to exploit the lignite reserves in Orhaneli and Keles.[2] In 2012, TKİ decided to privatize the coalfield through a tender to produce coal and construct a 270 MW power station in the district.[3] The last year before its privatization, TKİ produced 0.9 million tons of lignite coal from Keles and Orhaneli combined.[2] BLİ was acquired by Çelikler Holding's Çelikler Orhaneli Tunçbilek Elektrik Üretim A.Ş alongside the Orhaneli power station and Tunçbilek power station for $521 million.[4]
In 2013, Çelikler Holding applied to Energy Market Regulatory Authority or EMRA for a pre-permit to build a 270 MW power station, and started the EIA process. At the time, the plant was planned to become operational by 2019, and that teles would produce 2 million tons of coal a year to supply the power plant, and around 75 thousand tons to sell to the market.[5] As of June 2021, the power plant is not featured in the company website, and the project appears to be defunt.[6]
According to Çelikler Holding's website, the mine produces 1.65 million tons a year.[7]
