DEFINITION AND OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT Oskan Regulator and Hydroelectric Power Plant is located 14 km to the northwest of Osmaniye Province, within the borders of Duzici District and on the Ceyhan River. The approximate head is 21 m between the upstream Aslantaş Dam and HEPP and downstream Cevdetiye Irrigation Regulator. This head is planned to be utilized through upstream Oşkan HEPP and Berkman HEPP. With an installed power of 3x10 MW, Oskan HEPP will generate 109,93 Gwh/year in total, 49,09 Gwh/year of which is reliable. Turkey is a rich country in terms of hydroelectric energy sources. However, only 11% of annual capacity estimated to be 108,5×109 can be used. This is nearly the half of our total annual energy consumption while the rest of it is provided from thermal sources and abroad. Berkman HEPP and upstream Oşkan HEPP planned together are two plants which will be established in order to make use of the 21-meter head between Cevdetiye Regulator and Aslantaş Dam on Ceyhan River. Total annual energy generation of the two regulators, each of which have 10,5 m heads, is 219,86 Gwh. This generation occupies an important place within Ceyhan Basin. Inasmuch as the state sector has to undertake investments of large dams, the authority to establish and operate the facilities bearing the quality of this type of “River type Power Plants
