Kastraki Dam, Embankment dam in Aitoloakarnania, Greece
The Kastraki Dam stretches 547 meters across the Achelous River with a height of 96 meters, creating Lake Kastraki covering 24 square kilometers.
The construction of Kastraki Dam reached completion in 1969, marking a substantial advancement in Greek water management and energy infrastructure development.
The Public Power Corporation of Greece maintains this hydroelectric facility, which generates 598 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually for the national power grid.
Four Francis turbine-generators within the power station produce a total of 320 megawatts of electricity while managing water flow for irrigation purposes.
The 2010 renovation added 20 fuse plugs to the spillway, increasing the reservoir height by 1.93 meters and storage capacity by 44 million cubic meters.
