The Kremenchuk Hydroelectric Power Plant is a run-of-river power plant on the Dnieper River just upstream of Kremenchuk in Svitlovodsk, Ukraine. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and navigation. It is the third dam in the Dnieper cascade and creates the largest reservoir on the river. The dam has an associated lock and a power station with an installed capacity of 624 megawatts (837,000 hp). Construction on the dam began in May 1954, the reservoir began to fill in October 1959, the last generator was commissioned in 1960 and the dam and power plant were inaugurated in 1961.[1] It is operated by Ukrhydroenergo.[2][3]

Russo-Ukrainian War

[edit]

On the morning of October 31, 2022, Russian forces launched a massive missile strike on critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. In particular, a missile hit was recorded on the territory of the Kremenchuk Hydroelectric Power Station.[4][5]
