The Torul Dam is a concrete-face rock-fill dam on the Harşit River located 10 km (6 mi) northwest of Torul in Gümüşhane Province Turkey. The development was backed by the Turkish State Hydraulic Works. Construction on the dam began in 1998 and was completed in 2007. The dam’s hydroelectric power plant was commissioned in 2008. Water is diverted through a tunnel and penstock on the river’s north side where it reaches the power plant located about 4 km (2 mi) downstream.
