Iron Gate II Hydro Power Plant
- Iron Gate II Hydro Power Plant
Iron Gate II ( _ro. Porţile de Fier II, _sr. Đerdap II) is a large dam on the Iron Gate gorge on the Danube, between Romania and Serbia.
The project started in 1977 as a joint-venture of the Romanian/Yugoslavian governments for the construction of large dam on the Danube which would serve both countries. At completion in 1984 the dam had 16 units generating 432 MW of electricity divided equally between the two countries: 216 MW to Romania and 216 MW to Yugoslavia (now Serbia).
The Romanian part of the power station was modernised and there were installed another 2 units and the nominal capacity of the 10 units was increased from 27 MW to 32 MW thus having an installed capacity of 321 MW and increasing the entire power generation capacity of the power station to 537 MW.
The Romanian side of the power station produces around 1.3 TWh/year.
