| Summary: | In the early decades of electricity development, water flows were the most powerful and economically viable source of energy for large industrial facilities and power systems. Mountainous areas provided convenient conditions for the construction of hydroelectric installations without flooding of territories and relatively low capital costs. Therefore, the North Caucasus was one of the first regions in Russia to be targeted by hydroelectric power. The article deals with the problems of designing the first high-head Terskaya hydropower station in the Caucasus, and with the clash of interests of several groups of entrepreneurs who fought for the right to build it with the support of various pressure groups in high places in the Russian Empire and foreign countries. In this struggle, the interests of the railways and power engineers clashed with those of the political and military authorities, and as a result, the project was delayed for over 100 years. |
