Background

The Yeniköy Lignite Mines are a network of six underground and opencast mines, operated by Yeniköy Kemerköy Electricity Generation and Trade Inc, a subsidiary of IC İçtaş Enerji - Limak Enerji. [2]

Two mines in the network, Çarkıralan Belentepe, and Hüsamlar, form the Kemerköy cluster. Together, they produce 4.5 million tons for the Kemerköy power station. For the Yeniköy cluster formed by the remaining 4 mines that feed the Yeniköy power station, see Yenikoy coal mines (Yeniköy). In 2014, Limak and IC İçtaş Enerji jointly established the Yeniköy Kemerköy Elektrik Üretim (Yeniköy Kemerköy Electricity Generation and Trade Inc) and won a privatization tender for the Yeniköy coalfield. Within the same tender Yeniköy Kemerköy Electricity Generation and Trade Inc also received the operating rights for Yeniköy power station and the Kemerköy power station.[3] The Yeniköy Coalfield is divided into 4 basins; Sek Köy, Hüsamlar, İkiz Köy, and Alatepe.[4] There are a total of 6 mines in the field; Karacahisar, Akbelen, İkizköy, Sekköy, Çarkıralan Belentepe, and Hüsamlar. Sekköy, İkizköy, Akbelen and Karacahisar produce 3.5 million tons per year and supply the Yeniköy plant, whereas Çarkıralan Belentepe, and Hüsamlar mines produce 4.5 million tons per year and supply the Kemerköy plant. All of the mines combined produce 8 million tons in total. The total reserves for all of the mines are 231 million tons, and is divided among the mines as follows;[5]
