The Midilli Hydropower Plant, Turkey, is a run-of-river hydropower project located in Amasya province Center district and Kızılkışlacık village in Türkiye and has 32.55 MWe installed capacity. It utilizes the water head on the Yeşilırmak River to generate and supply electricity from clean and renewable resources.

Midilli HPP produces GHG emission free, clean electricity, which is fed into the national Turkish grid. The electricity supplied to the national grid is mainly dominated by thermal power plants in existing situation. Midilli HPP displaces power generation by thermal power plants, which leads to savings in fuel combustion and thus to the reduction of GHG emissions.

The electricity produced by project activity will produce 124,050 MWh electricity per year and result in an emission reduction of 57,308 tons of CO₂e/year.

The project contributes significantly to three Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

The project utilizes hydropower as a renewable energy source, reducing dependency on fossil fuels.

In alignment with SDG 7, the project generates approximately 124,050 MWh of electricity annually by converting waste into renewable energy, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and supporting Türkiye’s transition to a more sustainable energy mix.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

The project has created 14 new jobs, which contribute to the local economy and offer valuable training opportunities that would not have existed without it.

The project promotes inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all and contributes to the decrease in the unemployment rate.

Therefore, it would not be possible to contribute to the project region's economy and the people's education without the project.

SDG 13: Climate Action

The project produces clean renewable energy by diminishing CO₂ emissions. It is estimated to achieve an annual reduction of 57,308 tCO₂e, playing a vital role in mitigating climate change. The total emission reduction by the project activity is estimated to be 573,080 tons of CO₂e.
