Khudafarin Dam, Embankment dam and hydroelectric station in Khoda Afarin County, Azerbaijan and Iran.
The Khudafarin Dam stretches 380 meters across the Aras River, rising 64 meters high at the border between Azerbaijan and Iran.
Construction of the dam began in 1999 following agreements between Azerbaijan and Iran, with the facility opening its operations in 2008.
Archaeological excavations during construction revealed Bronze Age sites and a Saka-Scythian warrior grave near the dam location.
The hydroelectric power station generates 102 megawatts of electricity while providing irrigation for 75,000 hectares of agricultural land.
The dam returned to Azerbaijan's control in October 2020 after being under Armenian occupation since 1993.
