The electric power plant is situated at Sultanköy in Marmara Ereğlisi of Tekirdağ Province,[1] around 100 km (62 mi) west of Istanbul. It is adjacent to the Marmara Ereğlisi LNG Storage Facility. It is a combined cycle plant with 480 MW installed power and 3.6 TW·h annual generation capacity.[2] The power plant and its electrical substation were built by the Swedish ASEA Brown Boveri (ABB) on a build–operate–transfer (BOT) basis, and went in service in 1999.[1] The construction cost US$360 million. The plant is owned by the Turkish private power producer Uni-Mar Co., which is co-owned by the Japanese Marubeni and the Belgian Unit International,[1] and operated by Engie.[3]

The plant features advanced combined cycle technology with two 160-MW gas turbines and one steam turbine.[4] Natural gas-fired in the power plant is obtained from the state-owned crude oil and natural gas pipelines and trading company BOTAŞ Petroleum Pipeline Corporation (BOTAS), which operates the neighboring LNG storage facility. Generated electrical energy is sold to the state-owned electric utility TETAŞ.[2]

The ownership of Unimar Power Plant passed to the state-owned electricity generation company EUAS in 2019 after the end of the BOT contract and its name has been changed to Tekirdağ Doğalgaz Kombine Çevrim A Santralı [5]
