Background
In November 2009, Hema Elektrik (a subsidiary of Hattat Holding) applied to build a two-unit, 1,200-MW coal-fired power plant in Zonguldak province.
The project was met with vigorous local protests, led by KDZ.Ereğli Çevre Platformu and Greenpeace, with a great deal of support from local political officials — particularly a boat action in August 2013, which attracted a great deal of media attention.[1]
In 2017 it was reported that the area proposed for the Kireçlik power station had been designated a tourism area, making it unsuitable for coal plants.[2]
As of May 2018, the EIA was no longer listed online,[3] and the project appears to have been cancelled.
