Bekirli power station or İÇDAŞ Bekirli-2 power station or İÇDAŞ Biga-2 power station is a 2 unit[1] 1200-megawatt coal-fired power station in Turkey in Çanakkale Province owned by İÇDAŞ, which burns imported and local coal and receives capacity payments.[2] İşbank provided construction finance.[3] Opponents say it is one of many polluting industries in the area.[4]

It is estimated that closing the plant by 2030, instead of when its licence ends in 2056, would prevent over 5000 premature deaths.[5]
