Descriptions Dam, initial 809000 kW (ultimate capasity 1609000 kW), hydroelectric
power plant, on the Sakarya River in northwest Anatolia and
transmission lines west to Vanikoy (Istanbul) and east to Ankara. This project is
the key segment in the planned power transmission system for northwest Anatolia.
The power lines will carry the current to the principal load centers in northwest
Anatolia. ICA is financing U.S. machinery and equipment and U.S. engineering
and technical services. The dam and initial 80,000 kit power plant are essentially
complete and designs are to be undertaken for the remaining 80,000 kw during this
final xnnw_ Annwnm,I, =Krm. nhn/rn

Transmission Line from Catalagzi to Bosphorus
Description: High tension steel tower transmission line from the 609000 kw
Catalagzi thermal station in northwest to the Bosphorus. The line furnishes a
electric current to the Zonguldak, Eoslu, and Eregli coal and harbor operations; to
other industrial areas around Immet; and to the Municipal Electric System in Istanbul.
ICA financed U.S. equipment and the services of a U.S. engineering firm which
designed, acted as purchasing agent, and supervised construction. This is an
