The Dzoraget Hydroelectric Power Station (Armenian: Ձորագետի հիդրոէլեկտրակայան) is situated in Dzoraget village, Lori Region, Armenia. The plant is located on the coast of Debed River, but it uses the flows of the waters of Dzoraget River. Construction of the Dzoraget HPP started in 1927 and it was launched on 15 November 1932 with the full installed capacity of 22.32 MW.[1] As of 1980, the plant uses three generators with an installed capacity of 26.2 MW.[2] The Dzoraget Hydro Power Plant is considered to be small size power plant.[3] There is a little water storage behind the weir, as Dzoraget HPP is a run-of-the-river plant.
