The Cevizlik Hydroelectric Project is a hydroelectric power plant located in the Iyidere river basin, in Turkey’s Eastern Blacksea Region. The main purpose of the project is to generate approximately 335 GWh/year of electricity to supply the national grid using a renewable resource and tapping the significant hydropower potential in the region. The project activity reduces GHG emissions that would have otherwise occurred in the absence of the project activity by avoiding electricity generation from fossil fuel sources.
