Turkey

Affected plant(s)

Some larger fossil fuel plants

Database field(s)

Operational Status

Description

The operational status is currently blank. This source confirms that some plants are operational.

Source Information

If you wish I can check with a native speaker but as I understand the capacity mechanism plants only receive payments when operational. Therefore except for "CENAL TES" which did not receive a payment all the plants listed in the May source must have been operational last month.

Data Format

Data Location

Capacity payments in May only seems to be on the Turkish half of the website not the English half.

Presumably subsequent months will be anounced under "DUYURULAR" at TEİAŞ

Additional Info

Obviously some plants may be operational but not receiving payments.

Looking at the formula it seems that (unless the generation of a plant drops below 10% or 15%) with some effort it should be possible to calculate the amount of electricity generated by each plant.
