Pena
FYR Macedonia - reconstruction of the original plant from 1940.
Project review
The HPP Pena is utilizing head of the snow-fed Pena River in a border area of peaks reaching over 2 700 m above sea level. It was already modernized in 1970s but during the construction works improper turbines were used.
The rehabilitation consisted of output and capacity increase by 20%, replacement of the turbine and generators, installation of new substation, automation, and minor civil structures modifications.
