Koivukoski power plant, Hydroelectric power station in Kajaani, Finland.

The Koivukoski power plant stands along the Kajaani River, generating electricity through water flow with a capacity of 6.5 megawatts.

Architect Eino Pitkänen designed this power station, which began operations in 1943 during Finland's industrial development period following World War II.

The power plant forms an integral part of the Kajaani River historical area, near the medieval castle ruins between Koivukoski and Ämmäkoski.

Kainuun Voima maintains the facility as part of the Oulujoen ja Sotkamon reitin voimalaitokset system, supplying power to the surrounding region.

The structure exhibits functionalist architectural principles of the 1940s while continuing to generate hydroelectric power in its original location.
