Kayraktepe Dam is a planned hydroelectric plant of Turkey.
It is in Silifke ilçe (district) of Mersin Province. It is to the south west of Turkish state highway D.715 which connects Mersin to Karaman.[1]
The dam is planned to be on Göksu River. It was planned 30 years ago. But Göksu River valley is a fertile agricultural area (olive, grapes, figs, apricot etc.) and the construction was delayed because of the environmental concerns.
The minumun hydraulic head will be about and the maximum hydraulic head will be . The area of the reservoir will be between Silifke, Mut and Gülnar ilçes. The nominal power of the turbines will be 281.75 MWe. With this power the annual energy production is calculated to be .[2]
