The Koman Hydroelectric Power Station is a large hydroelectric power station (HPP), for which a dam on the Drin River was built. The dam is near the settlement of Koman, northern Albania. It is the second of three dams of the Drin River cascade; the Fierza Hydroelectric Power Station upstream, and the Vau i Dejës Hydroelectric Power Station downstream. The dam, 130m tall, was completed in 1985 and the reservoir was filled with water at full capacity in 1986.[1]

Completed in 1986, the power station consists of four turbines of French origin with a nominal capacity of each, totalling the installed capacity to .[2]
