Cenal power station is a 1320-megawatt coal-fired power station in Turkey in Çanakkale Province, which burns imported and local coal. [1] [2] The plant was financed by Turkish banks [3] and is owned by Cengiz Holding and Alarko Holding and receives capacity payments. [2] Environmentalists, such as Greenpeace, attempted to stop construction with protests, [4] and legal action against the environmental impact assessments. [5] Cenal is on the Global Coal Exit List. [6] It is estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends in 2062, would prevent over 4000 premature deaths. [7]
