This ranks it at number 7 in a list of hydroelectric power plants worldwide (Fig. 1). It is an upstage of Enisey’s series of hydroelectric stations. The station’s unique arch‐gravity dam is the highest in Russia and one of the highest in the world. It has a maximum height of 242 m, its upstream face is delineated with an arc of 600 m in radius, with a width of 105.7 m in its basement and 25 m in its...
