Linnamae, Estonia Built 2002 Eesti Energia AS Linnamae plant is located in northern Estonia in Jagala-river, about 1.5 km from the coast of Baltic Sea and 30 km east from the city of Tallinn. The original plant has been designed by Finnish professor Axel Verner Juselius in the year 1917 and it has been constructed during 1922-24. The plant has been exploded during the Second World War in 1941. The original plant consisted of spillover dam, fishsteps, dam sluice, three turbine chambers and generator house behind the chambers. There have been three horizontal axel 350 kW Francis-turbines. After the international bidding process Estonian Energy has chosen FKSM for the main constructor for rebuilding Linnamae power plant. The turbine-generators and control panels are manufactured by Waterpumps WP Oy. The turbines are submersible tube type totally made of stainless steel as well as the draft tubes. The plant has been rebuilt by preserving the old architectural style. Architect Raine Karp has been responsible of joining the new techonology to the old structures. FKSM, Eesti projekt and WP Oy have jointly designed the layout. Linnamae is one of the biggest hydro power plants in Estonia. << Back to references
