Unimar Marmara Ereğlisi Power Plant (Turkish: Unimar Marmara Ereğlisi Enerji Santralı) is a natural gas-fired power plant in Tekirdağ Province northwestern Turkey.
The electric power plant is situated at Sultanköy in Marmara Ereğlisi of Tekirdağ Province,[1] around 100 km (62 mi) west of Istanbul. It is adjacent to the Marmara Ereğlisi LNG Storage Facility. It is a combined cycle plant with 480 MW installed power and 3.6 GW·h annual generation capacity.[2] The power plant and its electrical substation were built by the Swedish ASEA Brown Boveri (ABB) on a build–operate–transfer (BOT) basis, and went in service in 1999.[1] The construction cost US$ 360 million. The plant is owned by the Turkish private power producer Uni-Mar Co., which is co-owned by the Japanese Marubeni and the Belgian Unit International.[1] The British energy company National Power is in charge of operation of the power plant.[2][3]
The plant features advanced combined cycle technology with two 160-MW gas turbines and one steam turbine.[3] Natural gas fired in the power plant is obtained from the state-owned crude oil and natural gas pipelines and trading company BOTAŞ Petroleum Pipeline Corporation (BOTAS), which operates the neighboring LNG storage facility. Generated electrical energy is sold to the state-owned electric utility TETAŞ.[2]
