Hydroelectric plant in Timișoara, Heritage hydroelectric plant in Timișoara, Romania
The hydroelectric plant features a tower resembling a medieval keep, decorated with the city coat of arms and arched windows along its downstream facade.
Inaugurated in 1910 under architect Székely László's design, this facility became one of the first hydropower plants established in Europe and remains operational today.
The power station represents early 20th-century industrial architecture and engineering excellence, marking Timișoara's transition into the electrical age.
The facility continues generating electricity while offering guided tours that explain the mechanics of hydropower generation and local energy distribution systems.
The plant introduced the first dam-type horizontal-shaft turbine design in Romania, generating 89 percent of Timișoara's initial electricity consumption.
