| Project Brief | Artvin Hydroelectic Power Plant has been developed by Doğuş Enerji Üretim ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi. The aim of the project is to produce electrical energy and supply it to the Turkish national grid thereby avoiding generation of equivalent quantum of electricity in fossil fuel power plants which would have supplied electricity to the grid in absence of the project activity. There are no purposes such as irrigation and flood control. It provides cheaper energy for industrialists and therefore, it gains advantage in the competitive environment. By means of reducing dependency to the fossil fuels for power generation, environmental pollution is significantly reduced. Also, clean energy is generated by using hydro power. Regarding this, Doğuş Enerji Üretim ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi. constructed a hydropower plant in Yusufeli district, Artvin province, Turkey. Based on the applied tool, the project boundary is considered as the National Electricity Grid of Turkey. The baseline scenario refers to the energy generation from fossil fuels. The project includes installed generation capacity of 340.00 MWm/ 332.18 MWe with expected annual electricity generation of about 1,026,000 MWh (according to the feasibility report). A powerhouse which contains 2 vertical Francis turbines with equal capacity (each 170 MWm) and a total capacity of 340.00 MWm/ 332.18 MWe . As per the license issued by Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) all legal rights of the project belong to Doğuş Enerji Üretim ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi. |
|---|---|
| Additional Information | Since the use of fossil fuels is avoided, greenhouse gas emission reductions can be achieved. The average annual generated electricity is expected to be 1,026,000 MWh according to the feasibility report and the emission reduction is estimated around 569,635 tCO2e annually. For the entire crediting period, 5,696,350 tCO2e are expected to be reduced. |
