Background

In January 2013, Eren Elektrik (a subsidiary of Eren Holding) applied to build a two-unit, 1,320-MW coal-fired power plant in Mersin province.[1] A regulatory hearing was held in Akdere in March 2013, at which residents expressed opposition to the proposal.[2]

The EIA was reported as in the confirmation stage in January 2015.[3] Plans are for a 2 x 1,000 MW plant.[4]

In 2016 the EIA was rejected.[5] As of June 2018, the project appears to be abandoned.
