The following is a list of hydroelectric power stations in Turkey with a nameplate capacity of 100 MW or more. There are about 60 power plants of 100 MW and over operating as hydroelectricity in Turkey. Total installed capacity is 32 GW. A few plants are under construction.
The three longest rivers in Turkey also have the highest capacity hydropower plants, the largest being Atatürk Dam on the Euphrates. On the same river are the second and third largest. Ilısu on the Tigris is the newest large dam. In contrast, the Kızılırmak River, which flows north into the Black Sea, has smaller projects.
The first power plant of any kind in Turkey was a 60 kW hydro plant constructed in Tarsus, which started operation on 15 September 1902. Feasibility studies for more dams were done in the 1920s and 1930s.
Hydroelectricity is a major source of electricity in Turkey, due to its mountainous landscape and many rivers. The country's main river basins are the Euphrates and Tigris. Over 700 hydropower plants have been built, and they make up about 30% of the country's electricity generating capacity.
The curved arch of Oymapınar Dam in Antalya is typical for narrow rocky gorges. In 2021, hydropower was the cheapest source of electricity in Turkey, but the IEA expects only a small increase in hydropower by 2026, partly due to the competitive prices of wind and solar.
Atatürk Dam, part of the Southeastern Anatolia Project, is the largest in the country. The curved arch of Oymapınar Dam in Antalya is typical for narrow rocky gorges.
