    December 15 2008-EÜAÞ's Ambarlý Fuel-Oil Power Plant Capacity
    Increase Modernization (CIM)

    Project Prokon group started design works of turnkey contract. -
    EÜAÞ, which will stop the power plant in March 2009, will make the
    site-delivery in this period.

    - In 2009, an allocation of YTL 113.6 million approved by SPO will be
    reserved for the project in 2009 It has been learned that having
    signed on November 10, 2008 the turnkey contract of Ambarlý Fuel-Oil
    Power Plant Capacity Increase Modernization (CIM) Project, which is
    the most critical project to meet the increasing energy demand of
    Istanbul Province in the short term, Prokon Group was learnt to have
    completed its necessary preparations immediately and started the
    design works speedily.

    The officials of Electricity Generation Corp. (EÜAÞ) General
    Directorate reported that they would make the site delivery in March
    2009 according to the work schedule prepared towards stopping the
    generation at the power plant upon the contract is signed.

    Thus, Prokon Group, which will prepare a part of the preliminary
    projects until this process, will continue the construction designs
    by working at the power plant location upon the site-delivery made in
    March 2009.

    As known, generation is sought to be maintained with maximum
    capacities as much as possible at the power plants of EÜAÞ for
    ensuring electricity supply security in Turkey.

    Therefore, emphasizing the importance of the continuing generation
    program for Ambarlý Power Plant, the relevant resources stated that
    the site delivery would be made in the process when generation would
    be stopped at the power plant.

    Given that the delivery period in the contract would start as of the
    site-delivery date, the delivery period of 37 months is calculated to
    expire in March 2012.

    In this case, Prokon Group shall make in March 2012 the site-delivery
    in working order so as to ensure an efficiency of 800 MW as of the
    all units of Ambarlý CIM Project.

    However, for meeting the increasing electricity need of Istanbul
    province and due to the delays in the tender process, Prokon Group
    plans to commission the turbine units earlier upon the recommendation
    of EÜAÞ and thereby to start the generation stage earlier than the
    site delivery.

    As may be remembered, we reported you, in our recent news story on
    the subject, that EÜAÞ had signed the contract of totally Euro 383.9
    million on November 10, 2008 with Prokon group for Ambarlý CIM
    Project

    (TEBANEWS#1384/November 17, 2008). In 2009, an allocation of YTL
    113.6 million will be reserved for the project On the other hand, the
    officials of EÜAÞ General Directorate have in the recent days
    completed the meetings with the SPO Undersecretariat towards the
    investment program of 2009 and received meanwhile a positive answer
    on allocation request and project revision concerning Ambarlý CIM
    Project.

    We announced earlier to you that the project investment cost would be
    revised due to the difference between the between the investment cost
    of YTL 550 million of Ambarlý CIM Project in the investment program
    of 2008 and the investment cost clarified through the tender contract

    (TEBANEWS#1384/November 17, 2008). Upon signing the contract of Euro
    383.9 million for Ambarlý CIM Project, EÜAÞ General Directorate
    revised the total investment cost of the project in the investment
    program of 2009 and re-set it as YTL 812 million.

    Accordingly, a total allocation of YTL 113.6 million is envisaged to
    be reserved in the investment program of 2009 for the project.

    As we have reported you also in our previous news stories, Prokon
    group will purchase the new turbines of Ambarlý CIM Project from
    German Siemens as 2 turbines, each 280 MW,

    and receive a consultancy service from Black & Veatch (USA) on
    engineering of the project.
