The Nizhnekamsk Hydroelectric Station (Russian: Нижнекамская ГЭС), also known as Lower Kama, is a dam and hydroelectric power station on the lower Kama River near Naberezhnye Chelny in Russia. The purpose of the dam is power production, navigation and water supply. It powers a 1,248 MW station with 16 x 78 MW Kaplan turbine-generators.[1] Work on this dam began in 1963 and was not completed until 1990. Work on the reservoir is still done to help maintain it.[2]
