The commissioning of the Rekovici hydropower plant in June 2021 marked the successful completion of the first project to have been conducted in Serbia by GUGLER Water Turbines GmbH from Upper Austria. The internationally renowned hydropower specialists supplied the new run-of-river power station on the River Lim in the town of Priboj with three pit-installed horizontal-axis Kaplan turbines. At full capacity, each of the units is capable of processing a flow volume of 55m³/s for a maximum standard power output of 2.6MW. The GUGLER delivery scope for the newest and most powerful hydroelectric power plant to be operated by HIDRO-TAN was rounded off with three air-cooled synchronous generators, the requisite gear systems and the extremely solid and heavy steel pits for the machines, each 10 metres long and over 8 metres in height.
