In 1959 a new Moscow-Stalingrad 500 <a href="/wiki/Kilovolt" class="mw-redirect" title="Kilovolt">kV</a> high voltage line power came into operation.

It consists of a 725-metre long, 44-metre high concrete dam that crosses the Volga river. Supporting it is a 3250-metre-long landfilled dam with a maximum height of 47 metres. The station also offers railway and road crossings of the Volga. </p><p>The present power rating of the station is 2,734 <a href="/wiki/Megawatt" class="mw-redirect" title="Megawatt">MW</a> and annual energy output of ~12 billion kilowatt hours.

The fishery canal turned out to be inefficient, and from 1962 to 1967 the annual production rate was 15 percent of that before the dam. The other major effect of the dam is that it formed one of the largest reservoirs, which amounts for a behemoth volume 31.5 cubic kilometres of water and stretches 540 km long, and up to 17 km wide with a massive 3,117 square kilometre surface area. As a result, numerous settlements and fertile lands were lost. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span
