The assignments include the execution of the feasibility studies, final design studies, tender specifications for civil structures (dam, power intake, power tunnel and penstocks, spillway, diversion structures with two tunnels and bottom outlet) and related hydro-mechanical and electro-mechanical equipment.

The projects will be executed jointly, with the local consortium partner Dolsar, up to the end of 2015.

Located on the Zap River in the eastern part of Turkey, the projects of Doganli and Çukurca cascade are developed by private investors in Turkey.

The combined installed capacity of all four projects is around 735MW with an annual generation of 2.246GWh.

Pöyry’s Hydropower and Renewable Energy Global Competence Line vice president Didier Mallieu said, "As one of the world’s leading hydropower engineering consultancies, with an accumulated total installed capacity exceeding 100 000 MW, Pöyry continues to support the Turkish power sector in its rapid expansion."
