The Kama hydroelectric power station, located in the Ordzhonikidze district of Perm, is historically the first stage of the Kama cascade. A feature of the Kama hydroelectric power station is the combination of the hydroelectric power station building with a weir dam. Railway tracks and a highway connecting the left and right banks pass through the structures of the Kama hydroelectric power station.
The structure of the Kama hydroelectric complex: a spillway reinforced concrete dam combined with the hydroelectric power station building; channel and floodplain soil dams; navigable double-string 6-chamber lock; open switchgears with 110-220 kV voltage. The total length of structures along the pressure front is 2.5 kilometers.
History
2020
In November 2020, the replacement of all hydromechanical equipment - weir gates and a turbine chamber, weir covers - was completed at the Kama hydroelectric station. The work was carried out within the framework of the Program for Comprehensive Modernization of Hydroelectric Power Plants RusHydro"."
2007: Formation of the RusHydro branch
On January 1, 2007, as a result of the reconstruction of three hydraulic units, the installed capacity of the Kama hydroelectric power station was increased from 501 to 510 MW.
On August 8, 2007, the reconstruction of hydraulic unit No. 20 with a fundamentally new automatic control system (ACS) was completed.
On June 25, 2008, the Open Joint Stock Company Federal Hydrogeneration Company - JSC HydroOGK was renamed JSC RusHydro.
The branch of PJSC RusHydro - Kama HPP was created on the basis of the decision of the Board of Directors of JSC HydroOGK, Minutes No. 38 dated August 27, 2007.
2004
On December 24, 2004, the Open Joint-Stock Company Federal Hydrogenation Company was created - JSC HydroOGK, a subsidiary of which became OJSC Kama Hydroelectric Power Station.
1997: The beginning of the reconstruction of hydraulic units of the Kama hydroelectric power station
On April 18, 1997, the overhaul of hydraulic unit No. 11 was completed. Hydraulic turbine and impeller chamber were replaced. From this began the reconstruction of hydraulic units installed at the Kama hydroelectric station.
1993: Registration of Kamskaya HPP Open Joint Stock Company
On February 10, 1993, the Kama Hydroelectric Power Station Open Joint-Stock Company was registered.
1971
In 1971, the cost of building the Kama hydroelectric power station paid off.
1964: HPP put into commercial operation
On December 31, 1964, the State Commission, formed by order of the USSR Gosstroy, adopted the Kama hydroelectric power station into permanent industrial operation.
1956
On April 30, 1956, the high-voltage power line KamHPP-Divya was commissioned.
The construction of the Kama hydroelectric station was mainly completed in 1956, a number of work was carried out later. On May 21, 1956, the first billion kilowatt-hour of electricity was generated at the Kama hydroelectric power station.
1955
On August 3, 1955, for the first time in the USSR, a 220 kV substation and power transmission lines were launched at the Kama HPP-Sverdlovsk. Electricity began to flow to the Ural power grid.
On October 10, 1955, the 110/220 kV OSU was commissioned on the left bank of the Kama River.
1954
On April 18, 1954, the filling of the Kama reservoir began.
May 1, 1954 the beginning of experimental sluicing at the locks of the Kama hydroelectric station.
On August 23, 1954, the assembly of the first hydroelectric unit of the KamHPP was completed.
The first 2 units of the power plant gave an industrial current on September 18, 1954.

1953: Kama Overlap
On June 10, 1953, the first turbine impeller of the Kama hydroelectric power station was installed.
On October 6, 1953, the closure of Kama was started. In six days, 13.5 thousand cubic meters of soil were dumped into the river, then concrete cubes weighing 4 tons each began to be dumped. The river was blocked in twelve days.
1951
On June 18, 1951, the first cubic meter of concrete was laid in the main structures of the Kama hydroelectric complex - a dam and a lock.
On December 21, 1951, the first cubic meter of concrete was laid in the building of the hydroelectric station.
1950
On April 19, 1950, a longitudinal bridge of the first stage of construction of the Kama hydroelectric station was built.
1949: Start of HPP construction
In 1949, the construction of the station began.
1948: Approval of a new project
The technical design of the hydroelectric power station was approved: the preparation of construction has begun.
1941
In 1941, working on a scheme for using the Volga, the management of the Big Volga Hydroenergoproekt concluded that the primary project of all hydroelectric facilities on the Volga and Kama was a hydroelectric power station near Perm. Having received instructions to continue work on improving the project of the Kama hydroelectric power station, the designers of the Big Volga decided to arrange the structures of the station and the weir dam on a sand-clay formation (wapps).
A team of engineers led by Professor B.K. Alexandrov created a very original design of a hydroelectric station, which is the best way out of the difficulties that arose due to the unfavorable geological conditions of the hydroelectric site. The project was based on the refusal to bury the power plant in gypsum soils, which made it possible to place the units inside the body of the weir dam and abandon the permafrost curtain.
1937: Construction stoppage and conservation
In August 1937, by order of the USSR NPP No. 674, construction work ceased due to the complexity of geological conditions in the area of the Kama hydroelectric station. It was indicated that under the dam section, at a relatively shallow depth, there are gypsum-bearing rocks that can be washed out by filtration water, which is dangerous for hydraulic structures. We started dismantling equipment, inventory of valuables and objects. The commission of the Gulag NKVD began to work on the reception of personnel, the transfer of people and the transfer of equipment for the construction of the Kuibyshev hydroelectric complex.
According to the 1937 project, it was supposed to install 7 units with a capacity of 72 thousand kilowatts each. It was planned to install the same turbines as at the Rybinsk hydroelectric station. To install them, it was necessary to delve 23 meters into the bottom of the river. But it raised doubts about the reliability of gypsum-bearing soils, from which gypsum can be washed out when water seeps (filters). Voids would form, dangerous for the stability of the hydraulic structure.
According to the 1937 project, the hydroelectric complex included: a power plant 254 meters long, a spillway dam 95 meters long and a paired single-chamber lock. All this in terms of the volume of work reached a significant value: for concrete - 2 million 400 thousand cubic meters, for land - 20 million cubic meters and for rock excavations - 28 million cubic meters.
In November 1937, an order from the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry on the conservation of construction followed.
1936: Introduction of Stakhanov's Ten Days
In January 1936 construction , the Stakhanov ten-day period was organized.
1934: Construction of the Hydroelectric Construction Camp Begins
The construction of the village on the right bank of the Kama was launched in December 1934, but the pace slowed down over time.
1933: Decision on the construction of a hydraulic construction camp
Work on the KamHPPstroy project began in March 1933, and already in August it was decided to build a village of hydraulic builders on the banks of the Kama River. Perm Gorplan decided "to build in Levshino for the builders of the Kama hydroelectric power station not a temporary village, but a socialist city of a permanent type."
1932: Decision to start the design of the Kama hydroelectric complex
On March 23, 1932, a decision was made by the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks to begin designing the Kama hydroelectric complex. Research has established the possibility of building more than 30 medium and three large hydroelectric power stations on the Kama and its tributaries.
