18 Mart Çan power station (also known as Çan power station) is a coal-fired power station in Turkey in Çan, which burns lignite mined locally and belongs to the state power company. [1] It was shut down in March 2021 [2] but reopened [3] after a flue-gas desulfurization system was installed at a cost of US$45.9 million. [4] [5]
In June 2021 İklim Değişikliği Politika ve Araştırma Derneği (Climate Change Policy and Research Association) said the plant should be shut down for operating without an environmental permit. [6]: 79
