Daran HPP is a modern hydroelectric power plant that generates energy with minimal environmental impact, thanks to its run-of-river (regulator-type) design that is fully aligned with the natural flow regime of water.
A significant portion of the equipment used in the project has been procured in line with a domestic and national manufacturing approach.
The first unit of Daran I and Daran II HPP was commissioned in January 2013, and with capacity expansions carried out in the following years, the facility has been continuing to generate energy uninterrupted to date.
Our facility, with an installed capacity of 68.74 MW, has been generating an average of 278 million kWh of electricity annually.
Within the scope of the project, equipment supplied by Andritz AG includes 2 units of 24.4 MW and 2 units of 9.7 MW — a total of 4 horizontal-axis Francis turbines.
Energy generation is achieved by diverting water from an elevation of 895 meters, conveying it through a 10,900-meter-long water conveyance channel, and utilizing a net head of 187 meters to generate electricity at the Daran I and Daran II power plants.
