In addition to the capacity and locations of the different types of power plants
mentioned above, the generation facilities from other sources were also deter-
mined. This information was then used to determine the total generation capacity
of each province, which is shown in Figure 14.4 .
Fig. 14.4. The electricity generation capacities of each province in Turkey in 2007
Seven provinces have the highest generation capacities. Three of these provinces
(Istanbul, Kocaeli, and Bursa) are in the northwest and are highly industrialised
provinces, Izmir in southwest, and the others (Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa, and Kah-
