Dnipro Hydroelectric Station
Dnipro Hydroelectric Station, Hydroelectric power station in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine
Description
Dnipro Hydroelectric Station is a power plant on the Dnieper River in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The dam stretches across the river and holds back the water, while the machine hall with its turbines and generators sits directly along the shore.
History
Work on the power plant started in 1927 and was completed in 1932, as part of a wide plan to industrialize Ukraine. During World War II the facility suffered heavy damage and was later rebuilt.
Culture
The name of the facility comes from the Dnipro river, which has shaped trade and settlement patterns across this region for centuries. Visitors today can see from the riverbank the long turbine halls and the weir that regulates water levels while reshaping the surrounding landscape.
Practical
The site is usually closed to the public because it is an active infrastructure facility. However, certain viewpoints around the city offer an overview of the dam and the reservoir.
Did you know?
The reservoir behind the facility extends for many kilometers upstream and forms one of the largest artificial bodies of water in Europe. This water reserve makes it possible to adjust electricity generation according to demand while also facilitating navigation on the Dnieper.
