The Maurik hydropower plant was built in 1988 by the PGEM (turned into Nuon, now Vattenfall) directly south of the Amerongen weir and lock complex. The weir in the Lower Rhine at Amerongen creates a height difference of up to 4 metres and the Maurik hydropower plant takes advantage of this. This power station has a capacity of 10 MW generated by 4 Kaplan water turbines, each coupled to a 2530 kW generator. Annually, the plant produces an average of 20-24 GWh of electricity.
