Köprü Dam, Hydroelectric power station and gravity dam in Kozan, Turkey

The Köprü Dam extends 413 meters across the Göksu River, featuring two Francis turbines that generate electricity through the controlled flow of water.

Construction of the dam began in 2009, and during its first impounding operation in February 2012, a diversion tunnel seal incident released 97 million cubic meters of water.

The development of Köprü Dam represents Turkey's commitment to renewable energy infrastructure and sustainable power generation practices in the Adana Province.

The power station contains two Francis-type turbines with a combined capacity of 148 megawatts, producing approximately 380 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually.

The dam creates a reservoir spanning 2.93 square kilometers, with a total capacity of 93.2 million cubic meters and an uncontrolled spillway handling 5,223 cubic meters per second.
