The Kalkandere Hydroelectric Project consists of the construction of a greenfield one weir and two run-of-river hydroelectric power plants located in the Iyidere river basin, in Turkey’s Eastern Blacksea Region. Total installed capacity of the project will be 43,47MWm / 42,33MWe. The plant has been designed to generate electricity by utilizing the 100.2 m of head between the tailwater level of the upstream existing Cevizlik HEPP and the Incirlik HEPP project which is under project stage and will be located downstream.

The Kalkandere Hydroelectric Project: A Sustainable Power Source for Turkey

The Kalkandere Hydroelectric Project is an innovative energy project located in the Iyidere river basin, in Turkey's Eastern Blacksea Region. The project consists of a greenfield one weir and two run-of-river hydroelectric power plants, generating a total installed capacity of 43,47MWm / 42,33MWe. 

Key Highlights:
- The Kalkandere Hydroelectric Project utilizes the flow of the Iyidere river, producing clean energy and reducing Turkey's carbon emissions.
- The project has been designed to generate electricity by utilizing the 100.2 m of head between the tailwater level of the upstream existing Cevizlik HEPP and the Incirlik HEPP project which is under project stage and will be located downstream.
- The Kalkandere Hydroelectric Project has a positive impact on local communities by creating job opportunities and boosting the local economy.
- The project contributes to Turkey's goal of increasing its renewable energy capacity to 30% by 2023.
- The Kalkandere Hydroelectric Project is an important step towards a sustainable future for Turkey and the planet.

In addition to providing clean energy, the project creates job opportunities for the local community and boosts the local economy. This project is a significant step towards Turkey's goal of increasing its renewable energy capacity to 30% by 2023. The Kalkandere Hydroelectric Project is not just a sustainable energy project, but also a key contributor to a cleaner and more sustainable future for Turkey and the planet.

Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources

The Yokuslu- Kalkandere Hydroelectric Power Plant

The Kalkandere Hydroelectric Project in Turkey's Eastern Blacksea Region created a greenfield hydroelectric power plant with a total installed capacity of 43,47MWm / 42,33MWe. The one weir and two run-of-river plants generate electricity by utilizing the 100.2 m of head between the existing Cevizlik HEPP and the upcoming Incirlik HEPP.
