Şırnak Silopi power station (Turkish: Şırnak-Silopi Termik Santralı) is a 405 MW operational power station in Silopi, in Şırnak Province in the south-east of Turkey.
The plant was built in the early 21st century by Silopi Electric, which is part of the Ciner Group.
[5] Since the plant is further to the south-east than other fossil fuel power stations in Turkey, interconnection with the electricity sector in Iraq may be possible.
Guidance issued to local middle school teachers by the Ministry of Education describes the plant as environmentally friendly, but pupils are asked to note its advantages and disadvantages together with those of the mine.
[16] As Turkey has no carbon emission trading it would not be economically viable to capture and store the gas.
