Background

According to the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) the plant's license has been in effect since January 2014. The plant powers the Eti Maden boron and acid factory in Bandırma. The power station ran on domestic coal.

In March 2016, an explosion in the plant's boiler caused production at the factory to be shut down temporarily.

As of November 2024, the government of Türkiye reportedly planned to privatize ETİ Maden.
