Tekirdağ gas power plant (Turkish: Tekirdağ Doğalgaz Kombine Çevrim Santrali) is a gas-fired power station in Tekirdağ Province northwestern Turkey with units A and B which are a few hundred meters apart.

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.[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 was 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 combined cycle technology with gas and steam turbines.[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.[2]

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