Electrical Energy Generation, Transmission and Distribution Program
About Our Program
Initially established in 1992 under the name "Hydroelectric Power Plants" our program was renamed "Energy
Generation, Transmission and Distribution" in 2010 by the Higher Education Council (YÖK). There are three
academic staff members serving in this program. Our program has a total student capacity of 60, and we strive to
provide education at a level that competes with other universities on both national and international platforms by
