Yarrawonga Weir Power Station
New South Wales, Australia
The 3393rd largest power station in the world
The Yarrawonga Weir is an earth-filled embankment dam across the Murray and Ovens rivers, located between Bundalong and Yarrawonga – in the Hume region of Victoria – and Mulwala – in the Riverina region of New South Wales – in eastern Australia. The weir, situated in Victoria, was completed in 1939 to form the reservoir, Lake Mulwala, for the purposes of water supply for irrigation in the surrounding district, regulate river flow, and serve as a crossing of the Murray between Victoria and New South Wales. A hydroelectric power station and a fish lift were added in 1994. Owned by the Murray–Darling Basin Authority, the dam and reservoir are operated by Goulburn–Murray Water. Transport for New South Wales manages the waterway and the NSW Department of Primary Industries manages fishing on the reservoir.
