Uglich Hydroelectric Station
Uglich Hydroelectric Station, Hydroelectric power station in Uglich, Russia
The Uglich Hydroelectric Station extends 310 meters along the Volga River, containing a gravity dam that reaches 27 meters in height.
The construction of the station began in 1935, with the first generator starting operations in December 1940 and the second following in March 1941.
The creation of the Uglich Reservoir submerged multiple historical structures, including the 15th-century Intercession Monastery and parts of ancient Kalyazin.
