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.

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

Built between 2010 and 2016 Zetes-1 is 160MW, Zetes-2 is 1230MW and Zetes-3 is 1400MW.[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]
