The Ütközet hydroelectric power plant was a power facility on the Szurdok Ridge at Ütközet in the Viery Territory on planet Reach. It provided energy for every settlement in the territory.[1][2]
Background
This power plant was located in a barren and mountainous region of Reach, on a mountain ridge overlooking a desert basin. Circa 2507,[2] a large river that had previously run down from the plateau to the basin was harnessed by Reach's settlers to produce energy, with a dam constructed in a narrow canyon not far from the cliff edge. With the dam in place, most of the river's former bed below it had turned into dry land, where the power station had also been constructed. A small fraction of the river ran through the facility, down to the bottom of the basin, where the river had eroded a wide and deep canyon, which now had water only in its very bottom. The power station itself followed the general architectural direction of Reach's pioneer structures; it was composed of multiple rounded sections of structures and built mostly of concrete.[1]
