Local nameHidroelektrana Jaruga 1
LocationLozovac, Croatia

Jaruga Hydroelectric Power Plant is a hydroelectric power plant on river Krka, located in Šibenik-Knin County, in central Dalmatia, Croatia.

The first European hydroelectric power plant was built in Croatia. It was put into operation two days after, according to Nikola Tesla's patents, the world's first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls was put into operation. A turbine, two generators and a transformer made by the Hungarian company Ganz were built under the Skradinski Buk waterfall. The Jaruga is one of the oldest power-generating facilities in the world. Its present location dates back to 1903, when it was moved from the nearby original Jaruga power station built in 1895.
