Lower Kaleköy Dam, Hydroelectric dam in Bingöl Province, Turkey
The Lower Kaleköy Dam stretches 504 meters across the Murat River, featuring three main turbines of 155.5 MW each and one additional 33.5 MW turbine.
The construction of Lower Kaleköy Dam marks a significant step in Turkey's renewable energy development, forming part of multiple dams along the Murat River.
This infrastructure project demonstrates Turkey's engineering capabilities while providing employment opportunities and economic growth for communities in the Kale and Genç regions.
The dam maintains a reservoir capacity of 516,500,000 cubic meters and generates approximately 965 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually for the surrounding areas.
The facility incorporates Francis-type turbines operating with an 89-meter hydraulic head, alongside spillways constructed using roller-compacted concrete for enhanced structural integrity.
