The Olsberg reservoir dams the Ruhr near Olsberg . The barrage was artificially created in 1928 during the construction of the Steinhelle power station . The lake has a volume of 72,000 m³ and serves as a reservoir for the Steinhelle 2 power plant block, which uses a Kaplan turbine to generate electrical energy with an output of 240 kW over a gradient of 7 m. The reservoir was built by the United Electricity Works Westphalia (VEW) and operated until 2000. Today the owner of the reservoir is RWE , with which VEW merged.
