Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to determine to provide the ratio of municipal wastewater treatment plant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WWTP); micro-hydropower generation to Turkey’s total electricity consumption. Primarily, population and treated wastewater flow predictions of Turkey were made between 2020 and 2023 years. The power predictions that micro-hydroelectric power plants could generate were made by using 2 meters drop height and predicted flow data. Then, for the same years, Turkey`s total electricity consumption prediction was made. For forecasting data for the coming years, a forecast sheet application was used. Finally, the total predicted electrical energies that could be generated with micro-hydroelectric at municipal WWTPs were compared with Turkey`s predicted electricity consumption from 2020 to 2023 years. Thus, the ratio of these two parameters to each other was determined. The population was predicted as 87873632 people and the total amount of treated wastewater insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TWW); was predicted as 5117528600 m3 for the year 2023. Total annual electricity generation that could be generated from micro-hydroelectric power plants was predicted as 2231 GW/year for 2023 year, while the total electrical power consumption value was predicted as 312547 GW/year. It was predicted that the supplying ratio of micro-hydropower generation in municipal WWTPs to total electricity consumption would be 0.00714% on average between 2020-2023 years.
