The Kürtün Dam is a concrete-face rock-fill dam on the Harşit River located 5 kilometres (3 mi) east of Kürtün in Gümüşhane Province, Turkey. The development was backed by the Turkish State Hydraulic Works. Construction began in 1986 and the reservoir started to fill in 2002. The dam was completed in 2003 and its underground power station became operational in 2004. The dam is connected with a 5.6 km-long (3.5 mi) road tunnel, constructed to link the dam site to Kürtün. The hydroelectric power station, located below and just downstream of the right abutment of the dam, has an installed capacity of 80 MW.
