The Maurik hydroelectric power station was built in 1988 by the PGEM (transferred to Nuon, now Vattenfall) directly south of the Amerongen Dumping and Locks Complex. The weir in the Lower Rhine near Amerongen creates a maximum difference in height of 4 metres, which is used by the Maurik hydropower plant. This power station has a capacity of 10 MW generated by 4 Kaplan water turbines, each connected to a 2530 kW generator. Annually the power plant produces an average of 20-24 GWh of electricity. That's enough for about 7,000 households. 1] source wikipedia.
