Dicle Dam— 110 MW Hydroelectric
Dicle Dam is a 110 MW hydroelectric power plant located in Turkey, commissioned in 1986. The facility harnesses the energy of flowing water to produce electricity and is part of Turkey's hydroelectric infrastructure. Dicle Dam ranks as the 54th largest hydro plant in Turkey, which has a total of 139 hydro facilities with a combined capacity of 22,862 MW. This plant accounts for approximately 0.48% of the country's total hydro capacity. The largest hydro plant in Turkey, the Atatürk Dam, has a capacity of 2,400 MW, indicating that Dicle Dam is a smaller contributor to the national hydroelectric output. Hydropower is a significant part of Turkey's energy mix, providing about 24% of the country's electricity. The geographical features of Turkey, with its rivers and mountainous terrain, support hydroelectric generation. Dicle Dam is located in the southeastern region of Turkey, approximately 600 km from Ankara.
