A View on History of Tarsus Electrical Infrastructure (1906-1938)
Öz
Modernization attempts in the Ottoman State grew in 19th century. One of these was the lighting of the streets of cities at nights. In several cities, there were attempts to illuminate the streets at nights using coal gas and electricity. Tarsus was one of them. There are numerous studies about the history of electrical infrastructure in Tarsus. According to these studies; Tarsus Power Plant was put into service in 1902. But the electrical infrastructure of the city was considered in 1906. Construction of a hydroelectric plant was planned due to the lighting and water problems of the city. The electrical infrastructure of the city was completed in 1910. It was built by Tarsus Municipality. The electric power plant was a hydroelectric plant, as planned. It was located approximately two kilometres north of the city. It could generate 75 kilowatt electric power. Electricity received from the power plant was delivered to the city centre in high voltage. There, it was distributed to electricity subscribers in low voltage. The electrical infrastructure of the city was managed by the municipality initially. In 1922/1923, it was transferred to a private power company. But most of this company belonged to the municipality; i.e., the municipality continued to manage the electrical infrastructure of the city. Tarsus Power Plant is significant for the history of technology in Turkey, as it is among the first power plants of the country.
