Sırımtaş Dam, Gravity dam and hydroelectric station in Adıyaman Province, Turkey

The Sırımtaş Dam rises 92 meters above the Birimşe River, featuring roller-compacted concrete construction and a hydroelectric power generation facility of 28 MW capacity.

Construction of the Sırımtaş Dam commenced in 2009 as part of Turkey's Southeastern Anatolia Project, reaching completion in May 2013 to address regional power requirements.

The Sırımtaş Dam represents Turkey's commitment to renewable energy infrastructure, contributing to the national power supply while supporting local development initiatives.

The facility generates approximately 87 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, supplying power to both urban centers and rural communities in the surrounding region.

The Sırımtaş Dam creates a reservoir that has established new aquatic habitats while serving as one of twenty-two dams in the Southeastern Anatolia Project.
