Mărişelu Hydro Power Plant is a large power plant on the Someșul Cald river situated in Romania.[1][2]

The project was started and finished in the 1970s and it was made up by the construction of a rockfill dam 92 metres (302 ft) high and 410 m (1,350 ft) long at the top. From the reservoir, the water is diverted through a 8.475 km (5.266 mi) tunnel to the plant.[1] The project was equipped with three hydrounits, the hydropower plant having an installed capacity of 221 MW.

The power plant generates 560 GWh of electricity per year.
