Nusaybin
HPP generates 36,360,000 kWh/year
electricity. Upon the phasing-in
of Çağçağ and II. HPP,
energy production will reach 33
Gwh/year on 4 Mw
The
province of Mardin consumed
457,965,468 kWh energy in 1999.
114,653,730 kWh of this was
consumed by industrial and
commercial enterprises whereas
irrigation facilities consumed
16,138,905 kWh.
56 oil
wells operated in Nusaybin
produce 35, 000 m3 natural gas a
day.
The
existence of natural gas in
Nusaybin and oil in the
neighboring country presents an
opportunity for establishing
power plants using these inputs.
Mardin is
also conducive to the
establishment of wind energy
facilities since the criteria of
6 m/sec wind blow is generally
met in the province.
Finally
the province also has potential
for solar energy production, but
this opportunity hasn’t been
exploited sufficiently.
