Zeya Dam, Hydroelectric dam in Zeya, Russia.
Description
The Zeya Dam spans the Zeya River and uses water power to generate electricity for the Amur Oblast region. The structure is built from concrete and equipped with multiple turbines that produce power on a daily basis.
History
The dam was planned in 1965 as a concrete structure and completed in 1975, marking a major infrastructure project in eastern Russia. Its completion greatly contributed to electrification and economic development of the remote Amur region.
Culture
The structure represents Soviet-era industrialization in Russia's Far East and shows how the region built its economic strength. Visitors see a monument to that development period, reflecting the ambitions of that time.
Practical
The site is located in the city of Zeya and is generally accessible for visitors who want to view the structure from outside. It is wise to wear comfortable clothing, as the area is large and viewing requires walking.
Did you know?
Behind the dam formed a large reservoir that extends far across the landscape and changed the region's appearance. This body of water is now part of daily life in the area and influences both water and power supply equally.
