This article is about power stations owned by Eren. For a power station owned by Aydem, see Çatalağzı power station.

The Zonguldak Eren Termik Santrali (ZETES) power stations in Zonguldak are 3 coal-fired power stations in Turkey totaling 2790 MW owned by Eren Holding via Eren Enerji.

Built between 2010 and 2016, Zetes-1 is 160 MW, Zetes-2 is 1230 MW and Zetes-3 is 1400 MW.[1] Together they are the largest installed capacity coal-fired power stations in Turkey and are estimated to emit 10.25 Mt CO2 per year,[2] over 2% of Turkey's greenhouse gas emissions. Located within about a kilometer of each other and the Black Sea the plants burn bituminous coal imported via the nearby Eren Port.

ZETES-3 was financed by IşBank and Garanti Bank.[3]

The plants received 13 million lira capacity payments in 2018,[4] and 10 million lira in 2019.[5]

In 2022 the plants generated 16,152 GWh of electricity.[6]

Their licences end in 2053. For 1 it is estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends, would prevent over 1000 premature deaths. For 2 it is estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends, would prevent over 4000 premature deaths. For 3 it is estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends, would prevent over 5000 premature deaths.[7]
