Chemal hydroelectric power plant, Hydroelectric power station in Chemalsky District, Russia.

The Chemal hydroelectric power plant is an electricity-generating facility along a river in the Altai region, operating with a capacity of about 0.5 megawatts. The installation harnesses the river's flow to produce electricity for the surrounding area.

The power plant was founded during the Soviet period when demand for local energy generation increased. It emerged from efforts to use renewable energy sources for supplying local communities.

The facility carries regional heritage status as a symbol of technological progress in the Altai region. It represents how local communities harnessed their natural resources for energy production.

The best way to visit the facility is via marked paths near the dam structure. Informational signs help visitors understand how water-based power generation works.

The facility merges industrial operation with natural surroundings, offering visitors a rare look at power generation in remote mountain regions. This location shows how modern infrastructure coexists with wild landscapes.
