The Sivas-Kangal Thermal Power Plant is constructed at 25 km from Kangal Town of Sivas and 2 km from lignite coal mines. The Power Plant has been planned to have an installed capacity of 2 x 150 MW at the initial stage and to be extended later to 4 x 150 MW.
“The construction of Coal Preparation, Transportation and Ash Disposal“ works has been undertaken on turnkey basis together with the partners. The work covers 11.000 tons of fabrication of steel constructions and machines together with their transportation, inland transportation of imported materials and equipments, assembling of all 16.000 tons of materials imported or locally fabricated and all civil construction works.
Within the scope of local fabrications are included the total of 12 transfer towers and 50% of 7 mobile equipments consisting of 5 "reclaimers-stackers", 1 stacker and 1 "tripper car". In addition (2x3.500 m) 7.000 m of conveyor line is also included in this scope. 1.900.000 m3 rock excavation 500.000 m3 fill, 49.000 m3 concrete, 2.600 tons of steel and 450.000 m3 crushed stone are included within the scope of civil constructions. Total of the works were completed at the end of 1989.
Bingöl - Karlıova Thermal Power Plant
The 1 x 60 MW thermal power plant to be constructed near the town Karlıova 45 kms from Bingöl will be the first one in Turkey from the stand points that it will be built by a consortium under the leadership of a Turkish Company, ERG and further for the first time it will be an integrated project including the development of the coal mine and extraction of coal as well, where it will be built on turn-key basis with 100% credit financing and from the total works over 60% will be executed by the local partner and leader company ERG.
Consortium consists of Waagner-Biro (Austria) to supply the general engineering services, the boiler and its accessories, AEG-Austria and AEG-ETI together to supply and erect the electricals, Skodaexport (Czechoslovakia) to supply the turbine-generator and its accessories, local partner and the leader ERG to supply about 60% from the total fabrications, 100% of civil constructions, erections including erection of turbine generator, inland transportations and local materials and services.
In order to feed this plant with local coal at site all the necessary works are under-taken by an other consortium again under the leadership of ERG wherein VEMB GmbH (Germany) is a consortium partner.
Afşin - Elbistan Thermal Power Plant
ERG-VERBUND Elektrik Üretim Şirketi where ERG is the major shareholder, desired to refurbish, desulfurization and construct additional two units to AFŞİN/ELBİSTAN power plant which is the Turkey's largest power plant with capacity of 4 x 344 MW. The scope and objective is take over the existing former power station AFŞİN-ELBİSTAN, together with the coal mine, from the Republic Of Turkey in order to modernize, extend and operate the facility for 20 years.
After this period, the power plant will be returned as an efficiency-enhanced plant operating at full capacity and generating a consistent, maximum output.

According to the latest investigations, the brown coal deposits in the AFŞİN-ELBİSTAN area amount to a total of 3.2 billion tons. Thanks to new technologies it will be possible to economically mine 1.8 billon tons in open cast mining operations. The overall deposit spreads out over an area of 120 km2. There are three brown coal deposits suitable for mining within this region. The first of these three deposits is Kışlaköy. Kışlaköy currently supplies the AFŞİN-ELBİSTAN power plant delivering an output of 4 x 344 MW. The total deposits of the Kışlaköy area contain 600 million tons of brown coal suitable for mining.
The brown coal of all three deposit areas will yield a combined thermal value of approximately 1.100 kcal/kg. These deposits contain 44% ash and 56% moisture.
The plant is designed to use low calorie brown coal continuously and safely producing electrical energy without using natural gas or fuel-oil. As an integrated plant with 4 units, the power station and the coal mine will be operated at full output. During peak operations it will be possible to mine an annual 30 million tons of coal and transport approximately 75 million m3 of ash material to the slag heaps.
