The Jaruga Hydroelectric Power Plant is the first commercial hydro power plant in Europe, and the second oldest in the world. It started with operation on 28 August 1895 at 20:00, two days after the Adams Power Plant on the Niagara Falls,[19][20][21] and in 1903 it was moved to its current location.[22][23]
