Background
In 2006, Enerjisa Enerji Üretim (a partnership between Sabancı Holding and E.ON) acquired the rights to build a three-unit, 450-MW coal-fired power plant in the Tufanbeyli district of Adana province.[1][2] The original plan to build the plant (with Prota Engineering as the lead contractor) was delayed for three years, however, due to the onset of the economic crisis.
In 2010, the $950-million project was revived, with SK Construction & Engineering and ITOCHU Corporation assigned the construction contract.[3][4] Construction was originally expected to be completed in 2015,[5] but the plant was inaugurated in 2016.[6]
In 2016, most of E.ON's fossil fuel assets were split off into the new company of Uniper, however Enerjisa remained with E.ON.[7]
In 2018, 20% of Enerjisa Enerji was listed on the Istanbul stock market.[7][8]
In November 2022, Enerjisa Üretim discussed that the facility could be fully renewable by 2040. The company was focused on making sustainability and community-based improvements. The site had 450 to 600 MW of solar potential. A small solar cell may already be in operation at the location.[9] Enerjisa Üretim later revised the fully renewable date to 2045.[10]
According to a December 2023 report titled "Social Fragility Analysis in Adana - Tufanbeyli Energy Transition" (Google translate), Tufanbeyli power station and the associated coal mine employed nearly 20% of the population of Tufanbeyli.[11]
Financing
In July 2012, a financing agreement for the project was closed. US$907.42 million in loans was provided by Societe Generale, UniCredit, BNP Paribas, MUFG Bank, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Natixis, Raiffeisen Banking Group, Akbank, and Erste Bank. US$302.48 million in equity was provided by Verbund and Sabanci.[12]
Opposition
In January 2015, local residents protested against the use of foreign workers at the construction site, arguing that project developers should be using local labor.[13]
In July 2024, Tufanbeyli power station workers staged a protest for higher wages and improved working conditions.[14]
Capacity Payments
In 2018, the company was paid millions of lira by the government in support of its coal-fired plant via the capacity mechanism.[15]
