Pravdinsk Power plant, Hydroelectric power station in Pravdinsk, Russia.
Pravdinsk Power Plant operates on the Łyna River and is managed by Yantarenergo to supply electricity to the Kaliningrad region. The facility functions as both an active power generator and a protected heritage site, combining industrial operations with official heritage status.
The facility was built in the postwar period to meet growing energy needs in the region. The government formally recognized its historical importance by designating it as a regional cultural heritage site in 2007.
The power station marks the region's shift toward modern energy production after the Soviet era ended. It represents how local communities adapted industrial methods while maintaining water-based power generation techniques.
The facility is operated by an energy company with restricted access for security reasons. Visitors should obtain permission in advance, as tours may only be possible on special occasions or by prior arrangement.
The plant was strategically positioned on the Łyna River where water flow could be optimally harnessed for power generation. This location choice has allowed it to deliver reliable electricity consistently since it began operating.
