Tampella Hydropower Plant
Tampella Hydropower Plant, Hydroelectric power station in Tammerkoski, Finland
The Tampella Hydropower Plant stands along the Tammerkoski rapids, utilizing the water flow between Lake Näsijärvi and Lake Pyhäjärvi for electricity generation.
Built in 1916 under the guidance of architect Lambert Petterson, the power station emerged during Finland's industrial growth and early adoption of renewable energy.
The facility represents a central element of Tampere's industrial legacy, marking the transformation of water power into electrical energy for the expanding city.
Located at coordinates 61.502359, 23.761405, the power plant continues to generate electricity while maintaining its protected status under local urban regulations.
The station maintains its original function after more than a century, generating power from an 18-meter elevation difference between two major lakes.
