Laleli Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Erzurum Province, Turkey
Laleli Dam is a hydroelectric facility under construction on the Çoruh River in Erzurum Province. The structure rises to roughly 128 meters in height and will serve to generate electricity for the region.
The project started in 2017 as part of Turkey's effort to expand hydroelectric power generation. Upon completion, it will strengthen the country's renewable energy supply.
The development of the Laleli Dam represents Turkey's commitment to sustainable energy production while continuing the tradition of water resource management.
The location is most accessible during drier months when water levels are lower. Visitors should be aware that this remains an active construction site and access may be restricted.
The dam's catchment area encompasses 4,759 square kilometers, extending eastward into Bayburt Province and affecting several local communities.
