Kayraktepe Dam is a planned hydroelectric plant of Turkey.
It is in Silifke *ilçe* (district) of Mersin Province. It is to the south west of Turkish state highway D.715 which connects Mersin to Karaman.[1]
The dam is planned to be on Göksu River. It was planned 30 years ago. But Göksu River valley is a fertile agricultural area (olive, grapes, figs, apricot etc.) and the construction was delayed because of the environmental concerns.
Technical details
The minimum hydraulic head will be about 90 metres (300 ft) and the maximum hydraulic head will be 124 metres (407 ft). The area of the reservoir will be 59.3 square kilometres (22.9 sq mi) between Silifke, Mut and Gülnar *ilçes*. The nominal power of the turbines will be 281.75 MWe. With this power the annual energy production is calculated to be 688820000 KWh.[2]
