The first European hydroelectric power plant was built in Croatia (many[1] people worked together to make this possible). According to Nikola Tesla's patents, it was operational two days after Niagara Falls' installation of the first hydroelectric power plant in the world. A turbine, two generators (42 Hz, 550 kW) and a transformer made by the Hungarian company Ganz were built under the Skradinski Buk waterfall. The Jaruga is one of the oldest power-generating facilities in the world. Its present location dates back to 1903,[2][3] when it was moved from the nearby original Jaruga power station built in 1895.[4][5][6]
