Kremasta Dam, Embankment dam in Aetolia-Acarnania, Greece
The Kremasta Dam extends 456 meters in length and reaches a height of 165 meters, making it the highest earth-fill dam in Europe.
The construction of Kremasta Dam, completed in 1967, marked a period of infrastructure development for Greece's energy sector with four Francis turbine-generators.
The creation of Lake Kremasta altered the regional landscape, leading to the submersion of small islands and the relocation of local communities.
The dam provides 437.2 megawatts of hydroelectric power capacity while managing water resources for irrigation and flood control in the surrounding regions.
Following the reservoir filling, the dam area experienced a 6.3 magnitude earthquake, contributing to scientific research on reservoir-induced seismic activity.
