After 83 years of service, the last of the four original 144,000 pound turbines was lifted out of Cherokee Dam’s Unit 3 earlier this month. It will soon be replaced with a new, more efficient turbine that will generate more power and help aerate the water downstream, improving aquatic habitat.
Cherokee Dam, located near Jefferson City, Tennessee, has four units that can generate 153 megawatts of low cost, reliable electricity and also provides flood control, recreation, water supply and many other benefits.⚡️🇺🇸
