    The Olsberg reservoir dams up the Ruhr near Olsberg. The barrage[1] was artificially created in 1928 as part of the construction of the Steinhelle power plant.[2] The lake has a capacity of 72,000 mÂł and serves as a reservoir for the Steinhelle 2 power plant block, which generates electrical energy with an output of 240 kW using a Kaplan turbine over a gradient of 7 m. The reservoir was built by the United Electricity Works of Westphalia (VEW) and operated until 2000. The reservoir is now owned by RWE, with which VEW merged.
