A fish pass that produces electricity
Historical view
The dam on which the new SHPP was installed was an element of the technical infrastructure of the now defunct Starogard Mills, which was situated several hundred meters downstream.
The first mentions of the Mills come from the Teutonic Knights. At that time, it was an object with one water wheel situated in the mill canal (the canal has survived to this day). However, the true renaissance of Starogard's milling was much later, only at the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. It was then that the mill was expanded and the machinery park was modernized. In the 1920s, a hydroelectric power plant was built at Młyny.
The new SHPP, equipped with an active fish pass, uses the biological flow of damming.
