Hydroelectric Power Plant “Temac”
The small hydroelectric power station "Temac" is located in the area of the village of Temska and the river Temštica, upstream from the 14th century monastery Saint George. It has been in operation since 1940, and until May 1990 it worked continuously without major overhauls since the beginning of production, when it stopped working due to uneconomical conditions and was preserved in working condition.
The exact time of the start of operation is related to two dates, the first is April 12, 1940, when the system was first tested and put into operation, and the second is August 5, 1940, when the hydroelectric power plant was officially licensed to operate.
