Paloona Power Station

Tasmania, Australia

The Paloona Dam is a concrete-faced rock-fill embankment dam across the Forth River, located in northern Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1971, the resultant reservoir, Lake Paloona, was established for the purpose of generation of hydroelectricity via the adjacent Paloona Power Station, a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station. The dam, its reservoir, and the power station are owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania.
