Ivankovo Hydroelectric Station

The Ivankovo power station incorporates a gravity dam measuring 28 meters in height and 216 meters in length on the Volga River.

The construction of this hydroelectric facility started in 1932, marking a major development in Soviet infrastructure, with its official opening in 1937.

The station represents an early example of Soviet engineering achievements in the development of renewable energy resources during the industrialization period.

This facility generates electrical power while maintaining water levels for transportation, irrigation systems, and drinking water supply in the surrounding regions.

The station functions as an integral component of the Volga-Kama cascade, managing water flow across multiple connected waterways in central Russia.
