Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant
Kyiv Hydroelectric Station (Ukrainian: Київська ГЕС, romanized: Kyivska HES) is a run-of-river power plant on the Dnieper River in Vyshhorod, Kyiv Oblast, Central Ukraine. The 288 m (945 ft) long dam creates the Kyiv Reservoir with the purpose of hydroelectric power generation and navigability with the dam's associated lock. The first of 20 generators in the power station was commissioned in 1964, and the last in 1968. Together with the Kyiv Pumped Storage Power Station, it creates a hydroelectricity generating complex. It is operated by the Ukrhydroenergo. Turbines for the plant were produced by the Kharkiv Factory Turboatom, and generators by the Kharkiv Factory "Elektrovazhmash".
