The Solina Dam is the largest dam and hydroelectric plant in Poland. It is located in Lesko County in the Bieszczady Mountains area of south-eastern Poland. The dam is 664 m long, 12 m across, and 82 m
high. Its construction created the largest artificial lake in
Poland - Lake Solina. It has four turbines which were initially capable of generating 136 MW
of electricity. Two of the turbines can also reverse flow to optimize
power generation. Starting in 1995 efforts have been made to modernize
the power plant. The installation of new technologies and the
replacement of the old turbines resulted in the dam currently generating
200 MW of electricity. The Solina dam is an important tourist attraction of the area. Tours are available and the dam serves as a bridge to the Lake Solina marina.
