Bucakkisla HPP Run-of-River Hydro Project: Enhancing Renewable Energy in Turkey
The Bucakkisla HPP is a notable run-of-river hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 41 MWe. Officially commencing electricity production on January 1, 2015, this plant has become a significant contributor to renewable energy in the region. It's expected to generate around 151.522 GWh of electricity annually.
Strategically built on the Göksu river, the plant features a total channel length of 45,503 meters and a crest elevation of 400 meters. The electricity produced by the Bucakkisla HPP is fed directly into Turkey's national grid, playing a vital role in the country's energy infrastructure.
The Bucakkisla HPP project is more than just an energy-generating facility. It represents a key step in Turkey's efforts to stimulate and commercialize grid-connected renewable energy technologies. By demonstrating the viability of run-of-river projects, this plant contributes to enhanced energy security, improved air quality, and the development of sustainable renewable energy industries. Additionally, it supports improved local livelihoods and paves the way for alternative, sustainable energy futures in Turkey.
