Çaldere

Çaldere HPP operates with a system that generates energy without disrupting the natural flow of water, thanks to its run-of-river (regulator-type) structure and environmentally compatible design. The fact that a significant portion of the equipment used in the project is domestically manufactured highlights both its technical sustainability and the strength of local engineering.

In addition, following the completion of the construction process, comprehensive afforestation activities were carried out across all project areas. This enabled the site to be reintegrated into the natural ecosystem, adopting a sustainable and environmentally responsible approach.

Çaldere HPP was commissioned in April 2008 and has been continuously generating energy since that date.

Our facility, with an installed capacity of 8.91 MW, generates an average of 44 million kWh of energy annually.

Within the facility, Pelton turbine technology by Andritz brand is utilized.

Energy generation is achieved by diverting water from an elevation of 690 meters, conveying it through a 6,900-meter-long water conveyance channel, and delivering it via a 1,930-meter-long penstock — utilizing a total net head of 437 meters to generate electricity efficiently.
