Dubăsari Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Dubăsari District, Moldova
The dam is a hydroelectric facility on the Dniester River built with a concrete structure to generate power for the region. It creates a reservoir that extends over many kilometers along the river.
The facility was built between 1951 and 1954 as a major infrastructure project in the post-war period. It marks the industrialization phase of the Soviet republic during that era.
The dam stands as a national monument symbolizing Moldova's engineering achievement in the twentieth century. It represents how the region developed its water resources for power generation.
The site sits directly on the Dniester and is easy to reach from the city of Dubăsari. Keep in mind this is an active power facility, so access may be limited in certain areas.
The facility is the final station in a series of hydroelectric installations along the Dniester, marking the end of this power generation system. Many visitors overlook this fact, though it defines an important part of the river's geography.
