GÖKSU Hydroelectric Power Plant (HEPP)
1. General Information
Göksu HEPP (Run of River Type hydroelectric power plants) is located on the Göksu River in the vicinity of Konya province of Güneysınır District. Göksu HEPP was put into operation in 1959 to utilize the total 80 m of gross head. Göksu HPP has 11,2 MW installed capacity and produces annually 60 GWh energy with a consistent and stable high capacity factor and steady flow regime.
In order to enhance renewable energy production, the commissioning of a Hybrid Solar Power Plant with an installed capacity of 3.4 MW is planned for the year 2025.
At the upstream of the Göksu HEPP, there are Bağbaşı, Afşar and Bozkır projects within the scope of Blue Tunnel Project. There are Damlapınar and Kepezkaya HEPP’s at the downstream of Göksu operated by the private sector.
