Since their acquisition in 2014 by Limak-IC Içtaş, the Yeniköy and Kemerköy Electricity Generation Plants have undergone significant renovation under Limak’s leadership. Yeniköy Thermal Power Plant consists of 2 units, each with a power of 210 MWe. On the other hand, within the scope of rehabilitation works in Kemerköy Thermal Power Plant, the installed power of units 1 and 2 was increased from 210 MW to 232,604 MW. It was accepted by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources on 10.12.2020 and 25.01.2022, respectively. At the end of the rehabilitation, the total power of the three units at Kemerköy Thermal Power Plant will reach 698 MW.
The net annual production in 2024 was 2,557,247 MWh for Yeniköy and 3,708,917 MWh for Kemerköy. These plants, utilizing domestic resources, are strategically important, meeting an average of 2,09% of Türkiye’s electricity needs and contributing approximately USD 510 million annually toward reducing the current account deficit.
The Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) approved a 54.80 MWe Auxiliary Source Solar Energy System Electricity Production Project to reduce the carbon footprint from electricity consumption and meet the country’s internal renewable energy needs. An “Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Positive” decision has been obtained for 42 MWe of this capacity, and the EIA process is ongoing for the remaining 12.80 MWe. To expand the existing hybrid solar power plant capacity, applications have been made for an additional 89.62 MWe, bringing the total hybrid solar capacity-including approved and applied-for areas-to 144.23 MWe by 2025.
