Turkey Becoming Less Dependent on Foreign Resources in Energy Generation

The acceptance of Unit No. 3 at Upper Kaleköy Dam and HEPP Project was realized on 18 July 2018, which concluded the Provisional Acceptance process of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. Upper Kaleköy HEPP is now ready for energy generation at full capacity.

Beyhan 1 HEPP, which is already in operation, and Upper Kaleköy HEPP, the provisional acceptance of which has just been completed, will generate a combined total of 2,799.06 GWh energy annually. This volume corresponds to the annual energy demand of one million people.

Furthermore, these power plants that use a domestic and renewable resource will contribute to reducing Turkey’s dependency on foreign energy resources.
