Güllübağ Dam, Gravity dam in Erzurum Province, Turkey

The Güllübağ Dam extends across the Çoruh River with a height of 71.5 meters and features three large spillway openings controlled by radial gates.

The construction of Güllübağ Dam commenced in 2009 with a river diversion tunnel, and the entire facility became fully operational with its final generator in March 2013.

The Güllübağ Dam represents Turkish engineering advancement in hydroelectric infrastructure, demonstrating the nation's commitment to renewable energy development and water management.

The dam's three Francis turbines generate a total capacity of 96 megawatts of electricity, while the reservoir holds 20 million cubic meters of water for regional distribution.

Water from the dam travels through a 3,247-meter power tunnel to reach the turbines, accompanied by a complex system including a 565-meter road tunnel and 185-meter viaduct.
