Spain to Power Turkish Cities with Three New Hydroelectric Plants
Spain, a global leader in infrastructure for electricity generation, has secured a significant contract to equip three new hydroelectric power plants in Turkey. The plants, Alpaslan II, Upper Kaleköy, and Tepekışla, will together generate enough power to serve a city of 600,000 people.
Spain will supply and commission a wide range of equipment for the three plants, including main inlet valves, vertical Francis turbines, generators, power transformers, substation equipment, and control systems. The company's expertise in hydroelectric power generation is unparalleled, having supplied over 50% of such equipment in Turkey since 2005. Notably, the turbines for the Tepekışla plant will set a world record for their type, boasting 40% more unit power than similar turbines. This is not Spain's first foray into Turkish hydroelectric power; it has already participated in the construction of over 15 such plants throughout the country.
Spain's success in this field is underpinned by its cutting-edge R&D center for wind energy and seven technology development centers. With over 4,000 employees in Spain across more than 30 work centers, including five factories dedicated to both the domestic market and exports, the company is well-positioned to deliver on this significant project.
The Alpaslan II, Upper Kaleköy, and Tepekışla hydroelectric power plants, equipped by Spain, will contribute significantly to Turkey's energy generation capacity. With a combined output of almost 400 MW and an annual generation of around 3,500 GWh, they will power the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Spain's involvement in this project further cements its position as a global leader in hydroelectric power generation.
