The Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant project was developed by the leading project research institute, UkrHydroProekt. Construction began in October 1960 and was carried out by the Kremenchugs'bud Trust collective. Numerous innovative organizational and construction solutions were implemented during the project.

The use of prefabricated reinforced concrete significantly reduced both the construction costs and timeline while improving the quality of the structures. Additionally, the Kyiv HPP pioneered the use of high-frequency technology for installing large concrete constructions,^{[clarification needed]} marking a first in the field of hydroelectric plant construction.

Timeline

1960

October–December: organization of the construction site, weaving the trenches of the pit.

1961

June: first concrete plant was built.
July: start of the pumping of the gateway
August: first cubic meter of concrete is enclosed in a navigable gateway
October: beginning of excavation works on the left bank dam

1962

January: transition through Dnepr to the transmission line is 35 kV
March: start of work in the hydroelectric excavation
May: first cubic meter of concrete is enclosed in the foundation of the hydroelectric power station

1963

April: concreting slopes of the left bank dam began

1964

September: shipyards were put into operation
November: flooding of the pit and the Dnipro overpass
December: commissioning of the first unit of the hydroelectric power station

1965

Start of units No. 2–4

1966

Start of units No. 5–10

1967

Start of units No. 11–16

1968

Start of units No. 17–20

During the construction of the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant, groundworks were carried out in an amount of 79 400 thousand cubic meters; 825 thousand cubic meters of monolithic concrete was made.

For the first time in the former USSR, the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) used low-pressure horizontal capsule hydro units.

The Kyiv HPP is unique because it was the first in domestic hydropower construction to combine a hydroelectric power plant with a concrete spillway dam featuring 20 waterways.

The hydroelectric power station is 51 meters wide and 285 meters long. It is a connected structure, divided by temperature and sediment seams into five blocks, each containing four horizontal capsule units.

The water reservoir at Kyiv HPP is a channel-type, river reservoir with limited seasonal regulation. The total length of the protective structures is 70 kilometers, and the highest point of the channel dam reaches 22 meters.

The main components of the HPP include:

The hydroelectric plant with facilities on both the right and left banks
An open 110 kV distribution unit (GRP)
A combined concrete spillway dam with 20 waterways.

Other key elements include:

Right and left bank dams
A protective dam on the right bank
A dam between the navigation lock and the power station
A wave-separating dam
A channel rowing dam
A pressureless dam on the left bank
The Kyiv navigation lock, which is now managed by the State Enterprise "Ukrvodshlyah."

The power plant is equipped with 20 horizontal capsule units, each fitted with PL/GK-600M rotary-blade hydro turbines from the Kharkiv Turbine Plant and SGK-538/160-70 horizontal synchronous generators produced by Electrotyazhmash. After the modernization of these hydro units, the plant’s installed capacity is now 440 MW.

Above the flowing part of the generating premises are located the main generator outputs, oil pressure equipment with speed regulators, pumps, and other related systems.

The upper ceiling of these premises, combined with a deformed metal cover, forms the spillway threshold.^{[clarification needed]}
