Tammerkoski Rapids Power Plant
Tammerkoski Rapids Power Plant, Hydroelectric power station in Kyttälä, Tampere, Finland
The Tammerkoski Rapids Power Plant stands along the Tammerkoski river, featuring clean lines and industrial design elements characteristic of functionalist architecture.
Built in 1932 under architect Bertel Strömmer's direction, the power plant emerged during Finland's industrial expansion period, marking a shift toward modern energy production.
The power station represents Finnish industrial heritage through its protected status under town planning laws, reflecting local commitment to preserving technical monuments.
The facility continues to generate renewable hydroelectric power by harnessing the natural flow between lakes Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi, with an 18-meter water level difference.
The power plant operates within a system of four stations along Tammerkoski Rapids, contributing to Finland's sustainable energy network while maintaining its original 1930s structure.
