It began with the construction of the Hydroelectric Power Station on the Dnieper. At that time it was the largest water power plant in Europe. The first ships passed through the Dniproges locks in May, 1933.

4. The reconstruction of farming created favourable conditions for the development of irrigation, the construction of large irrigation and flooding systems. Important work was carried out also for reclamation of swamped lands.

9. The fourth stage of the Dnieper cascade of power stations – the Dniprodzerzhinsk HPS was completed in 1963. It was followed by the Kyiv and the Kaniv power stations. Altogether Dnieper cascade of power stations generate a total of 10,000 mln kw-hrs in the average year.
