Messochora Dam, Embankment dam in Mesochora, Trikala, Greece.
The Messochora Dam stands 150 meters tall on the Achelous River, with concrete facing and rock-fill construction spanning the waterway.
Construction of the Messochora Dam started in 1996 after decades of planning since the 1930s, reaching completion in January 2001.
The dam represents a central element in Greek water management infrastructure, affecting agricultural practices across the Thessaly plains region.
Two Francis-type turbines in the hydroelectric power station are designed to generate 162 megawatts of electrical power for regional distribution.
The reservoir remains unfilled despite structural completion due to ongoing legal proceedings and environmental impact considerations.
