The Ermenek Dam ( Turkish Ermenek Barajı ) is a dam in southern Turkey . It was built by the Turkish Water Management Authority near Ermenek on the Ermenek Çayı , a tributary of the Göksu .
The barrier structure is a double-curved concrete arch dam with a height of 210 m and a length of 132 m. The hydropower plant has two Francis turbines with an output of 306 MW and provides 1048 GWh of electricity per year. In August 2009, the construction work was so far completed that the reservoir has been dammed since then . The opening ceremony took place in December 2009. Downstream is the Gezende Dam .
