How to Buy Coal

Coal for Industrial, Heating, and Thermal purposes are produced and supplied to the market by the TKI Directorates. Detailed information on how our customers may provide coal is explained below.

A) INDUSTRY SECTOR

Coal is provided to industry sectors by cash price contacts or forward contracts. According to the sales program, the requests of coal that will be supplied to industry sectors for the following year are collected in October every year, after the announcement of the TKI Directorates.

The registered customers who request coal from the TKI Directorates can order online from the Customer Information System (http://crm.tki.gov.tr, https://miy.tki.gov.tr/) by logging into the system with their user names and passwords. New customers can sign up in the same system. Besides, the customers can make their coal requests physically by a letter of application.

After receiving the requests from industry sectors, the amounts of coal to be supplied for the following year are announced from the web pages of the directorates at the end of November every year, in accordance with the criteria specified according to TKI Sales Program. After the announcement, a 1-month duration is given to the companies to sign the contract. According to the agreements signed with the companies, coal delivery is started after the beginning of the year.

Application Phase:

• Application Form (It will be announced in the webpages of the Directorates during the request period)

Contract Phase:

• Capacity Report: Calculated amount of coal consumption will be stated in this report. (From the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, other Chambers and Organizations),
• The original or notarized copy of the Registration and Activity Certificate from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (with new dated),
• Notarized list of authorized signatures of the Company.

B) THERMAL PLANTS

Coal sales are made with long-term or annual contracts for the thermal plants affiliated to EUAS (Electricity Generation Company) and privatized by the Directorate of Privatization Administration in 2014.

Coal demands of other thermal plants are met with cash price contacts or forward contracts, depending on the coal production and stock conditions of the TKI operating areas.

C) HEATING SECTOR

The sales of +18 mm and 10-18 mm size coals for heating purposes, supplied to the market in bags by TKI, are generally made in three ways.

1. The “direct sale” method is applied to state institutions and organizations.

2. According to the Presidential Decrees, the delivery of coal to needy families and the Ministry of National Education.

3. Coal sales through distributors affiliated to TKI.

Coal produced and supplied to the market in bags by TKI for heating purposes is not sold directly to customers. Coal is sold to customers through our distributors.
