Country Republic of Guinea

Location in the Konkoure River Basinin Western Guinea[1]

Purpose Power

Construction began 18 April 2012[2]

Construction cost $527 million (an estimated cost)[3]

The Kaleta Hydropower Plant (Chinese: 凯乐塔水电站)[4], also known as Kaleta

Hydropower Project[5] or Kaléta Hydropower Station[6], is a water conservancy project
in the Republic of Guinea[7], located in the Konkoure River Basinin Western Guinea[8], with
a total installed capacity of 240 MW[9]. This project was constructed by China
International Water & Electric Corporation[10].

The construction of the project officially started on 18 April 2012 [11], with an estimated
cost of $527 million[12]. On May 28, 2015, the first unit of the hydropower station was
officially connected to the grid for power generation[13]. On September 28, 2015, local time
in Guinea, the plant was completed and inaugurated in a celebration ceremony[14].

Before the Souapiti Hydropower Station is scheduled to be completed and put into
operation in 2021[15], the Kaleta Hydropower Plant is the largest hydropower station in
Guinea[16].
