Dospat–Vacha Hydropower Cascade
The Dospat–Vacha Hydroelectric Cascade ( bg, Каскада "Доспат–Въча") is situated in the western Rhodope Mountains of southern Bulgaria, on the territory of the Smolyan Province, Smolyan, Pazardzhik Province, Pazardzhik and Plovdiv Provinces. It is owned by the NEK EAD, National Electricity Company. The cascade was constructed between 1963 and 2010 by "Hydrostroy". With catchment area of 2,083 km2 spanning from an altitude of 2,191 m at the summit of Golyam Perelik to 420 m at the Krichim Reservoir, it is among Bulgaria's most complex hydropower systems. The cascade receives water from several river drainages, mostly from the Nestos (river), Mesta, the Dospat (river), Dospat and the Vacha (river), Vacha. It includes five reservoirs and seven hydro power plants — Teshel Hydro Power Plant, Teshel, Devin Hydro Power Plant, Devin, Tsankov Kamak Hydro Power Plant, Tsankov Kamak, Orphey Hydroelectric Power Station, Orphey, Krichim Hydro Power Plan ...

Bulgaria
Bulgaria (; bg, България, Bǎlgariya), officially the Republic of Bulgaria,, ) is a country in Southeast Europe. It is situated on the eastern flank of the Balkans, and is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and North Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. Bulgaria covers a territory of , and is the sixteenth-largest country in Europe. Sofia is the nation's capital and largest city; other major cities are Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas. One of the earliest societies in the lands of modern-day Bulgaria was the Neolithic Karanovo culture, which dates back to 6,500 BC. In the 6th to 3rd century BC the region was a battleground for ancient Thracians, Persians, Celts and Macedonians; stability came when the Roman Empire conquered the region in AD 45. After the Roman state splintered, tribal invasions in the region resumed. Around the 6th century, these territories were settled by the early Slavs. The Bulg ...

Tsankov Kamak Hydro Power Plant
The Tsankov Kamak Hydroelectric Power Plant, also Tsankov Kamak HPP, comprises an arch dam and hydroelectric power plant (HPP) in Tsankov Kamak, southwestern Bulgaria. It is situated on the Vacha River in Smolyan Province, on the borders of Pazardzhik Province and Plovdiv Province, roughly southwest of Plovdiv and downstream (north) of the town of Devin. It is a part of the Dospat-Vacha cascade development of the Vacha River involving five dams and power stations within the Devin municipality, southeast of Sofia. The other four dams are Dospat Dam, Teshel Dam, the Vacha Dam and the Krichim Dam. The Tsankov Kamak dam is the first double curvature arch dam in cupola shape in Bulgaria. It has a maximum dam height of . It is the second in the cascade series from the upstream end, and the last to be developed. Apart from power generation, the other objectives of the five projects are use of water resources for irrigation, drinking and household water supply. While the cascade deve ...

Teshel Reservoir
Teshel () is a small reservoir situated in the Western Rhodope Mountains of southern Bulgaria. Its lies in Borino Municipality in the western part of Smolyan Province, between the lands of the villages of Borino and Yagodina. It is part of the Dospat–Vacha Hydropower Cascade (500.2 MW) and is owned by the National Electric Company (NEK). The reservoir is located downstream of the Buynovo Gorge on the river Vacha at the village of Teshel. It was inaugurated in 1984 and serves as a daily equalizer of the nearby Teshel Hydro Power Plant (60 MW). Its dam forms a lake with an area of 0.1 km2 and a volume of 1.4 million m3. The dam reaches a height of 30 m and a length of 200 m. It was constructed over a complex geological foundation, which necessitated numerous changes in the project, including during construction. The spillway has a capacity of 354 m3/s and carries the water through a 400 m long tunnel. The main volume of the reservoir's ...
