The Cetin hydroplant will be Statkraft’s largest outside of Norway and will have an average annual production of 1.4 TWh, equivalent to 460,000 homes.
Estimated to cost around €500 million, the project will make up two dams and two power stations. The civil works will be conducted by a Joint Venture between the two Turkish constructors Yuksel and Ilci. The Austrian company Andritz Hydro is nominated as contractor for electro-mechanical equipment.
