Piva
Location: Montenegro
Operator: Elektroprivreda Crne Gore AD
Configuration: 3 X 114 MW Francis
Operation: 1976
T/G supplier: Litostrj, Koncar
EPC: Elektroproject, Hidrotehnika
Quick facts: The Piva Dam is one of the tallest in Europe at 220m. When
the dam was built, the 16th century Piva Monastery had to be relocated to higher ground 3.5km
away. The complete process took 12yrs, complicated by the need to
carefully disassemble and reassemble 1,260mē of frescoes painted
between 1604 and 1626.
