SPIC Holds Open Day Event at Hunutlu Thermal Power Plant Project in Turkey

An open day event at the Hunutlu Thermal Power Plant project in Turkey was held by State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) through livestreaming on Dec 23.

The event showed the progress of the plant's construction and SPIC's efforts in environmental protection in affected areas.

Located in Adana province, the plant neighbors the Mediterranean Sea and has a total installed capacity of 1.32 million kilowatts.

Turkey's first non-chimney power plant equipped with advanced environmental protection and ultra-supercritical coal-fired power generation technologies, the project will greatly reduce coal consumption and pollutant emissions in the country.

The plant, a key project linking the Belt and Road Initiative with Turkey's "Middle Corridor" - a development vision of Turkey - is expected to produce about 9 billion kWh of power annually upon completion.

It will be a major power source of Adana and play a role in boosting economic and social development in the country.

At the open day event, SPIC also released a report on its social impact during construction, which included fulfillment of social responsibilities and contributions to local ecological environmental protection and sustainable development organizations.

In recent years, SPIC has developed overseas projects in 46 countries including Brazil, Chile, Malta, Pakistan and Australia, with a total installed capacity of 6.06 million kW, 70 percent of which deliver only clean power.
