Riga Hydroelectric Power Plant
Riga Hydroelectric Power Plant (Rīgas hidroelektrostacija, Rīgas HES) stands just beyond Riga's southern border, in Salaspils. Operating since 1974, it boasts a total capacity of 402 MW with six generators, two transformers, and two 330 kV power lines. The plant's construction involved flooding Doles Sala, creating the Riga Reservoir, and constructing a dam in the late 1970s. While serving as a vital electricity source for Riga, the reservoir provides tap water. Rigas HES also acts as a compensation plant for TEC2 thermal power plant, regulating voltage and addressing power deficiencies. With a powerline pylon in the reservoir, Riga Hydroelectric Power Plant is a key element in Riga's infrastructure, operated by Latvenergo.
