The Alpaslan-2 Dam is an embankment dam currently under construction on the Murat River in Muş Province, Turkey. The dam is located about 32 km (20 mi) north of the provincial capital, Muş. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power production and irrigation. Its power station will have an installed capacity of 280 MW and the reservoir will help irrigate 78,000 ha (190,000 acres) of land. Enerjisa Power Generation Inc. acquired the license for the power station from Özışık İnsaat & Enerji in April 2011 and Yenigün Construction started excavating the diversion tunnels May 2012. The diversion tunnels are expected to be complete by the end of 2012. In late May 2013 Pöyry was awarded the detailed design of the dam, power station, spillway and switch yard. Enerjisa expects the project to be complete in 2016.
