m

The Narva Hydroelectric Station (Estonian: Narva hüdroelektrijaam) is a hydroelectric power station in Ivangorod, Russia. It is fed by the Narva Reservoir on the Narva River and is located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) downstream of the Narva Dam (Kulgu Dam) on the east bank of the river. It was designed by a Leningrad design bureau Lenhydroproject and constructed during 1950–1955. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union the Estonia–Russia border bisects the dam of the reservoir. The power station itself is entirely on Russian territory. The power station is owned and operated by TGC-1 power company. The dam is owned by TGC-1 and Narva Power Plants.
