Sanibey Dam & HEPP is comprised a dam and a green field “310.66 MWe” hydroelectric power plant located in the Seyhan river basin, in Turkey’s Eastern Mediterranean Region. In order to generate energy, power plant building including two units having outputs of 155.33MWe each are located on the downstream of the dam body. Once the project is accomplished, a separate project will also be carried out by the State Hydraulic Works (DSI) which envisages the provision of irrigation of 75,000ha of land in Imamoglu region.The project activity reduces greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions that would have otherwise occurred in the absence of the project activity by avoiding electricity generation from fossil fuel sources. The average annual emission reductions of the proposed Project for the crediting period are estimated as 524,729 tonnes of CO2e according to the estimated annual electricity generation figure in the feasibility study report It is estimated that the Project will reduce 524,729 tCO2e annually, generating an expected total of 5,209,598 tCO2e for the duration of the initial 10-year crediting period. VCS project crediting period will be renewed once which will make the total crediting period as 20 years. The project started to generate electricity on December 2nd, 2010. The end date of the first crediting period is 1st of December 2020.

Sanibey Dam & HEPP - Generating Clean Energy in Turkey

Sanibey Dam & HEPP is a hydroelectric power plant that generates clean energy by utilizing the Seyhan river basin in Turkey’s Eastern Mediterranean Region. The project consists of a dam and a green field “310.66 MWe” hydroelectric power plant. The power plant building includes two units with outputs of 155.33MWe each which are located on the downstream of the dam body.

Key Highlights:
- The project generates clean energy by avoiding the use of fossil fuels.
- It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 524,729 tonnes of CO2e annually.
- The project provides irrigation for 75,000 hectares of land in Imamoglu region.
- The project has a crediting period of 20 years, with the first period ending on December 1st, 2020.
- The project started generating electricity on December 2nd, 2010.

The project activity reduces greenhouse gas emissions that would have otherwise occurred in the absence of the project activity by avoiding electricity generation from fossil fuel sources. According to the feasibility study report, the average annual emission reductions of the proposed Project for the crediting period are estimated as 524,729 tonnes of CO2e. The project is expected to generate a total of 5,209,598 tCO2e for the duration of the initial 10-year crediting period, with the VCS project crediting period being renewed once which makes the total crediting period as 20 years.

Apart from generating clean energy, the project also contributes to the provision of irrigation for 75,000 hectares of land in Imamoglu region through a separate project carried out by the State Hydraulic Works (DSI). Sanibey Dam & HEPP is an important project for Turkey's energy sector as it reduces the country's dependence on fossil fuels and supports the transition towards renewable energy sources.
