Istanbul Waste Power Plant (Turkish: İBB Atık Yakma ve Enerji Ürestim Tesisi) is a waste-to-energy facility in the Eyüp district of Istanbul near the Odayeri landfill,[1] Turkey, using waste incineration. Opened in 2021 it is owned by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) and operated by İstanbul Environmental Management Co. (İSTAÇ).[2] It is Turkey's first power plant of this type.[3] Project development started in 2011 with a grant from the United States Trade Development Agency (USTDA) which involved first a Definitional Mission and subsequently a detailed Feasibility Assessment.[4][5]
