ISTANBUL (Turkey), December 31 (SeeNews) – Turkey will not include the country's largest hydropower plants in its privatisation plan, even though investors have offered up to $20 billion (16.4 billion euro) to buy one of them, said energy minister Taner Yıldız, as quoted in local media on Wednesday.
“We are not privatising the country’s major dams, including the Ataturk, Keban and Karakaya dams in eastern Anatolia. We will not privatise a number of other dams on the rivers of the Euphrates, Tigris and Kızılırmak, the longest of the country,” he said, as quoted by Hurriyet.
Almost all gas-powered plants, on the other hand, would be privatised in the coming two years, the minister added.
