Enerhodar Dnipro Powerline Crossing

Enerhodar Dnipro Powerline Crossing is the designation of two powerline crossings of the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnipro river near Enerhodar.

The first powerline, which was built in 1977 and runs from Zaporizhzhia Thermal Power Plant, consists of five 100 metres and two 90 metres high pylons, which were built on caissons in the water. The caissons with the pylons were prefabricated and then erected in the reservoir.

In 1984 a 750 kV powerline with a single circuit for transport of energy produced in the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was built. It consists of three 126 metres and two 100 metres high pylons, which stand also on caissons in Kahovskoe reservoir of the Dnipro river.
