Power plants
Construction of the first Polish nuclear power plant Żarnowiec began on the eastern shore of the lake around 1982 , but around 1990 construction work was canceled due to violent protests after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the facilities that had already been ordered in Czechoslovakia were sold to Finland, where they still function today .
Next to the closed construction site is the largest Polish pumped storage power plant Żarnowiec , built in 1976–1983.
