The Kolyma reservoir with the connected Kolyma hydropower plant (Kolymskaja GES) is a dam on the Kolyma in eastern Siberia.
The dam dams the river above the urban-type settlement Sinegorje at river km 1850 over a length of 125 km.
It was built in the 1970s and 80s to generate hydropower. Of the five turbines, which can together produce 900 MW , the first went into operation in 1981/1982, the last in 1995.
The dam is 130 meters high and 780 meters long. Its bulk volume consists of 10 million cubic meters of rock material, 1.5 million cubic meters of clay as sealing material and 2.5 million cubic meters of filter material.
Of the 14,600 million cubic meters of storage space, 6,500 million cubic meters are usable space .
