HE Mariborski otok je najnižje ležeca pretocna elektrarna na reki Dravi. Izgradnja elektrarne je bila nacrtovana že pred prvo svetovno vojno, graditi so jo zaceli v letu 1942. Zaradi vojne so se gradbena dela mocno zavlekla, tako da je bilo maja 1945 izvršenih le 30 % gradbenih del, nacrti pa so bili uniceni ali odneseni. Pred graditelje je bila postavljena težka in zapletena naloga - zgraditi velik hidroenergetski objekt, kakršnega v stari Jugoslaviji še sploh niso zgradili, zlasti ne z lastnimi mocmi. Izdelati je bilo treba nove nacrte za nov tip elektrarne, ki je bil v strokovni literaturi zelo malo ali skoraj nic obdelan.

Cache is hidden near Hydro-Power Plant Mariborski otok.
Bonus point for GC37EMR (1/4)
NOTE ! All power plants areas are restricted areas. To get the cache, you do not have to climb over the fences, or enter the plants!

This pier type power plant is the lowest lying power plant in the Drava River Chain, located just outside of Maribor in the riverbed, exploiting the energy potential of the Drava River between the Fala HPP and the island in the Drava River. The construction of the power plant had been planned prior to the World War II, but construction only began in 1942. The war caused the construction process to be drawn out considerably so that in May 1945 it was still only 30% completed. Despite a number of problems after the war, construction work continued and 1948 saw the commissioning of the first unit, with the second and third units beginning operation in 1953 and 1960.
