Cwm Dyli, Hydroelectric power station in Beddgelert, Wales
The rectangular turbine house features quarry-dressed limestone walls, brown brick details, and a slate roof with tiled ridges and overhanging eaves.
Established in 1906, Cwm Dyli Power Station marked the introduction of Alternating Current hydropower in Britain, supplying electricity to local quarries at 10,000 volts.
The power station's architecture incorporates alpine elements that reflect the industrial heritage of North Wales while harmonizing with the mountainous environment.
The facility generates electricity by channeling water from Llyn Llydaw, located 320 meters above the station, through a system of turbines and generators.
The pipeline structure of Cwm Dyli appeared in scenes of the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough.
