AKOCAK is a run of river type hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) project located on Karadere River, in Trabzon province, in East Black sea region of Turkey. The purpose of the project is to generate energy from the running waters of Karadere River.   The project includes two weirs. The first weir called Erikli weir shall be built on Alcak Brook, a branch of Karadere, on 1,339 meters riverbed elevation. A sediment pool of 41 meters long and 2.3 meters wide shall be built along the riverbed. The other weir called Akocak weir shall be built on Karadere branch of the river, on 1,328 meter riverbed elevation. The UTM ED coordinates for Erikli weir is 580 500 E, 4 495 600 N; Akocak weir: 577 425 E,  4 496 300 N; powerhouse: 576 375E,  4 502 625 N.

AKOCAK Hydroelectric Power Plant: Generating Clean Energy from Karadere River

AKOCAK is a run-of-river hydroelectric power plant (HEPP) situated on Karadere River, East Black Sea region of Turkey. The project aims to produce clean and renewable energy from the flowing waters of Karadere River.

Key Highlights:
- The project features two weirs, Erikli weir, and Akocak weir, built on Alcak Brook and Karadere branch, respectively, to harness the river's energy.
- The weirs have been constructed at 1,339 meters and 1,328 meters, respectively, on the riverbed to ensure maximum energy production.
- A sediment pool of 41 meters long and 2.3 meters wide has been built along the riverbed to mitigate the negative impacts of sedimentation on the project's efficiency.
- The UTM ED coordinates for Erikli weir are 580 500 E, 4 495 600 N; Akocak weir: 577 425 E, 4 496 300 N; powerhouse: 576 375E, 4 502 625 N.

The AKOCAK Hydroelectric Power Plant is a sustainable solution to meet Turkey's growing energy needs while minimizing carbon emissions. The project has not only created job opportunities in the region but has also contributed to the socio-economic development of the local communities. By generating clean energy from the flowing waters of Karadere River, AKOCAK has reduced carbon emissions and mitigated the effects of climate change.
