Notes
- The table titled “2023 Yılı Sonu İtibarıyla Elektrik Piyasası Ön Lisans ve Üretim Lisansı Dağılımı“ in the executive summary of the 2023 EMRA report totals 15 + 23 + 15 = 53 coal power licences - but as ZETES 1 2 and 3 have the same licence if counted as separate power stations the total would be 55.[3] As of 2025 the Energy Ministry website says there are 72, however that is not an official number.[4] However TMMOB [5] disagree with a 2024 Turkish Coal Association report there are 54 plants altogether (but they may be counting ZETES as one plant -see pages 29 to 31 of https://www.komurder.org/uploads/Haber-Galerisi/2024/euas-ve-komurder-isbirligi/euas_ve_komurder_isbirligi.pdf)
- If you are Turkish you can get a user-id and log in to the Energy Exchange Istanbul (EXIST) transparency platform "Real-Time Generation" option and see a graph of a power station's generation for a period of time up to 3 months, with the total below the graph.[6] Recent generation by unit can be seen on the "Final Daily Production Program" option by first entering the company name and then dropping down the list of unit names.[7] Even so some small power stations may not show on the platform if they do not sell to the grid (that is they are just autoproducers).
- In 2018 coal-fired power stations gross generation was 113 terawatt hours (TWh), which was 37% of total gross generation.[8] The figures in the table below are net generation.
- By routine calculations from the 2 columns to the left as described in Capacity factor#Sample calculations – note that there are 366 days in 2020
- Where the construction year is not known, the start of the current EDPK operational license is shown – nevertheless there may have been "pre-licenses" before that.
- Public information about a power station (e.g. Cenal) can be displayed from the Turkish Energy Market Regulatory Authority database as follows. Click the bracketed letter link in its cell below (e.g. [n]) and copy the license number (e.g. EÜ/4315-42/02574) into the "Lisans No." box on the query screen.[10] Tick "Ben robot değilim" (I am not a robot) and then press the "Sorgula" (query) button. Ignore the co-ordinates as they are garbage data. A translation of the column headers and drop down selection may be helpful.[11].
- As of 2021 there is no web service for this at https://www.epdk.gov.tr/Detay/Icerik/21-35/web-servisleri so to attempt to list operational coal-fired power stations from the licence database enter: "Lisans Durumu"="Yürülükte" (license status=In force),"Tesis Türü"="Termik" (facility type=Thermal) and "Tesis Durumu"="İşletmede" (facility status=In business). Then tick "Ben robot değilim" (I am not a robot) and "Sorgula" (Query) which should list licensed, operational thermal power stations.[10] Click "Raporla" (Report) to download it. Repeat with "Tesis Durumu"="Kısmi İşletmede" (facility status=Partly in business). Using your spreadsheet software merge the 2 downloads, select "Yakıt Türü"="Kömür" (Fuel=Coal) OR "İthal Kömür" (Imported Coal) OR "Yerli Kömür" (Local Coal) OR "Yerli Asfaltit" (Local Asphaltite). Then sort by "Tesis Adı" (Facility Name). A translation of the column headers and drop down selection may be helpful. When copying the operational capacity into Wikipedia or Wikidata be sure to copy MWe which is the last power column.[11]
