Background

In November 2015 Yesildag Enerji Proje Insaat A.Ş. was applying for a license to build a 1,200 MW coal plant in Silifke district.

As of December 2019 the project is no longer on the Turkey Energy Market Regulatory Authority website, meaning it is not seeking a generation license, nor a list of pending EIAs. The project appears to be cancelled.
