Yusufeli Dam, a hydroelectric power plant built in on Çoruh Stream in Turkey’s northeastern province of Artvin, will start to hold water starting from November 22, said Vahid Kirişçi, the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.
“Yusufeli Dam, the 5th highest dam in the world, will meet the annual electricity needs of 2.5 million citizens. Yusufeli Dam opens, and the power of water meets the people,” tweeted Kirişçi.
The Yusufeli Dam is being constructed on the Çoruh River near Yusufeli in Artvin Province within the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey.
The dam will be the second largest dam within the larger Çoruh River Development Plan, which plans to build 13 dams, of which two are operational and another two are under construction.
The dam's main purpose is hydroelectric power production and it will support a 540 MW power station. (ILKHA)
