The Trade and Development Program is actively promoting opportunities to expand mutually beneficial trade relationships between Turkey and the United States. One of the areas recently explored is the rapidly expanding Turkish energy sector, seeking to meet the demand of a growing industrial base, and the requirements of the population at large for improved living conditions. One of the major components in Turkey's energy development strategy is to increase the quantity of electrical power distributed on the national grid. This is particularly critical for further industrial development, as the industrial sector accounts for about 75% of total electrical demand. It is now considered desirable to begin to explore the issue of thermal power plants using imported high grade coal. American power plant technology and coal offer technical, economic, and other advantages to Turkey, should it decide to proceed with a coastal coal fired thermal plant.
