The hydroelectric complex's structures included the powerhouse with a 193-meter-long installation platform, a 447-meter-long gravity spillway dam (with 28 spillway gates measuring 12 x 9 m), a 3.2-km-long[5] earthen dam between the lock and the powerhouse, a 320 x 18-meter-wide single-chamber navigation lock, floodplain and above-floodplain earthen dams, the headworks of the North Crimean Canal, and a 154-kV switchgear. The total length of the retaining structures of the hydroelectric power station was 3,850 m. The maximum head was 16.5 m, and the maximum water capacity was 21,400 m³/s. The hydroelectric power station was combined with 12 bottom spillways and was designed to handle 4,962 m³. The vertical hydroelectric units were equipped with Kaplan turbines from the Kharkiv Turboatom plant, synchronous generators with a voltage of 13.8 kV produced by the Kharkiv Electrotyazhmash plant, and electric transformers from the Zaporizhzhia Transformer Plant [8]. A road and a railway ran along the structures of the hydroelectric power station. The installed capacity of the power plant was 343.2 MW, the designed average annual electricity generation was 1,420 million kWh. As of 2021, the station was serviced by 250 workers.
