The Ožbalt power plant ( Slovenian Hidroelectrarna Ožbalt ) is a run-of-river power plant on the Drava , which is located in the municipality of Podvelka , Slovenia . It has an installed capacity of 73.2 MW . The eponymous village of Ožbalt is located on the left bank of the river about one kilometer upstream from the power plant.

The power plant is owned by Dravske elektrarne Maribor (DEM) and is also operated by DEM.

Barrier structure

The barrier structure is a weir system with four weir fields; Between the weir fields there is a machine house with a turbine. Each weir field is 17 m wide. A maximum of 5800 m³ / s can be discharged via the weir system.

Reservoir

When fully blocked , the reservoir extends over a length of 12.7 km and holds 10.5 million m³ of water, of which 1.4 million can be used to generate electricity.
