The small hydroelectric power plant Vučje is the second oldest hydroelectric power plant in Serbia, after Djetina. It’s located a few kilometers above the village of Vučje near Leskovac, and built in 1903 on the beautiful river Vučjanka. Since the power plant is 17 km away from Leskovac, the transmission line was built for the electrification of the town, the first in the Kingdom of Serbia. 

These are the first power stations built according to Tesla's principles of polyphase currents in Europe, and thanks to Djordje Stanojević, the progenitor of Serbia's electrification and Tesla's friend, who knew how to recognize all the best places in Serbia for hydroelectric plants, which are still performing their function. In 2005, the Vučje hydroelectric power plant was included in the world's industrial heritage, which at that time consisted of only about sixty buildings.

The hydroelectric power plant Vučje began operating on December 24, 1903, the day Leskovac was liberated from the Turks. Since then, it has been continuously producing electricity.
