Background
Mining at the Ilgın mine started in 1978, when Ilgın Linyitleri İşletmesi (Ilgın Lignite Enterprise) or ILİ was founded as a subsidiary of TKI, the state coal mine.[2] ILİ operated the mine until 2012, after which its operation was taken over by Ciner Group's Konya Ilgın Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. through a privatization tender.[3] In 2013, Ilgın Kontrol Müdürlüğü (Ilgın Regulatory Directorate) was established as a subsidiary of TKİ to monitor the mine's operation under the private company.[4]
According to Ciner Group's website, Ilgın Coal Mine has 138 million tons of total reserves.[3] In 2019, the company announced that they were scheduled to produce 420 thousand tons of coal a year until 2024.[5]
