High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Irkutsk Hydroelectric Power Station (Irkutsk HPS) is an earthen embankment dam on the Angara River with an adjacent hydroelectric power station. It is located adjacent to Irkutsk, Irkutsk Oblast in Russia and is the first dam on the Angara cascades. Construction on the dam began in 1950, its reservoir began filling in 1956 and its power plant was commissioned in 1956 as well. It was the first large hydroelectric power station constructed in Eastern Siberia and its completion was hailed by the Soviets as an engineering success. Complex studies of the Angara River began in 1930 after the economic problem of the industrial city of Angarsk was recognized nationally. In 1935, the research stage of the study was complete and recommended a hydroelectric power plant at the top of the Angara for industrial consumption. In 1936, the State Plan of the USSR reviewed the results and determined that six hydroelectric power stations in a cascade should be built on the river in support of Angarsk, the Irkutsk being the first. After further studies, designs and authorizations, the project was approved in 1949.
