Sogi Power Plant - Japan

3D Model

Built in 1907 in collaboration with German engineers, Shitagau Noguchi incorporated European design and technology such as the generators into his hydroelectric power plant to power the Okuchi gold mines to the north.

Operating for nearly 60 years, the Sogi Power Plant closed in 1965, making way for the larger Tsuruda dam downstream. Due to annual flooding behind the dam, the Sogi Power Plant is submerged seven months out of the year.
