The Camiş Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. is a key infrastructure asset in Turkey's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Camiş Elektrik Üretim A.Ş., which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Turkey, Camiş Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. occupies the #59 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Turkey's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 30,569 MW. The largest operational gas installation in Turkey is the Enka Gebze gas power plant with an output of 2,449 MW, making the Camiş Elektrik Üretim A.Ş. approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Turkey's aggregate generation capacity of 94,534 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of gas power plants (modeled at 40% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Turkey consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 41.2855° latitude and 27.5831° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Hamitabat Doğal Gaz Kombine Çevrim Santrali (DGKÇS) (gas, 1,220 MW), Hamitabat CCGT Power Plant (gas, 1,220 MW), Hamitabat Termik Santrali (gas, 1,156 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Turkey.
