CEYHAN HEPP PROJECT (Oşkan and Berkman HEPP)

Ceyhan HEPP (Oşkan and Berkman HEPP) is located on the Ceyhan River in the vicinity of Osmaniye province. Ceyhan HEPP is located between upstream Aslantaş Dam and downstream Cevdetiye Irrigation Weir (completed in 1977) utilizing in total 25m of gross head.

The aim the project is to generate electrical energy from the sustainable and environmental friendly renewable energy resources to meet the increasing power demand in Turkey, to contribute to socio-economic well-being and to reduce external dependability on energy.

Ceyhan HEPP is the combination of 2 power plants in cascade named as Oskan and Berkman with installed capacities of 25 MW and 38 MW respectively. Each of the plants comprise of 3 Pit Type Kaplan Turbines with horizontal axis.

The annual generation of Oşkan and Berkman HEPP are expected to be 108,74 GWh and 150,55 GWh respectively by considering the development of the upstream projects.
