Bereket Enerji Üretim San. ve Tic. A. S. has constructed Koyulhisar Hydro Electric Power Plant (HPP) on the Kelkit Stream, within the jurisdiction of Koyulhisar Town of Sivas Province, Turkey. The purpose of the project is electricity production using the potential energy of Kelkit Stream as a renewable resource. Therefore, the electricity is going to be produced without causing airborne pollutants or Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. The construction and operation of the Koyulhisar Hydro Electric Power Plant (HPP) will be delaying the addition of conventional thermal power plants to the Turkish National Electricity Grid.The set capacity of Koyulhisar  HPP  is 63 MW, with 3 turbines of 21 MW each . One of these three turbines  is installed as a standby unit, intended to operate only whenever one of the other two turbines will not be operating for the purpose of maintenance and repair.  The annual average  electricity production is expected to be a maximum of around 220,000 MWh. Based on Turkey’s Combined Margin Emission Factor of 0.52826 tCO2e/MWh, the project is expected to produce 116,217 tonnes of CO2e GHG reductions each year. The project is also contributing to the local economy by providing jobs and creating other social benefits. These aspects are evaluated based on social carbon standard Hydro indicators version 4.1, adapted for Koyulhisar HEPP.

Bereket Enerji Üretim San. ve Tic. A. S. has constructed the Koyulhisar Hydro Electric Power Plant (HPP) on the Kelkit Stream in Sivas Province, Turkey. The project generates electricity using the potential energy of the stream as a renewable resource. This means that the electricity is produced without airborne pollutants or Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. By constructing and operating the Koyulhisar Hydro Electric Power Plant (HPP), conventional thermal power plants will not be added to the Turkish National Electricity Grid. 

Key Highlights:
- The Koyulhisar HPP's set capacity is 63 MW, with 3 turbines of 21 MW each, including one standby unit that operates during maintenance and repair.
- The annual electricity production is expected to reach up to 220,000 MWh.
- The project is expected to reduce GHG emissions by 116,217 tonnes of CO2e each year.
- The project contributes to the local economy by creating jobs and social benefits.
 
The Koyulhisar Hydro Electric Power Plant (HPP) is a significant project that generates clean, renewable energy without causing airborne pollutants or GHG emissions. The project's annual production of up to 220,000 MWh of electricity helps to reduce Turkey's reliance on conventional thermal power plants. With a set capacity of 63 MW, the project provides a reliable source of energy for the region. Additionally, the Koyulhisar HPP creates jobs and other social benefits, contributing to the local economy. By producing clean, renewable energy and reducing GHG emissions by 116,217 tonnes of CO2e each year, the Koyulhisar HPP is an important step towards a more sustainable future.
