The Rubicon Hydroelectric Scheme is a small run-of-the-river hydroelectric scheme located on the Rubicon and Royston Rivers, north east of Melbourne, 40 km (25 mi) south-west of Alexandra, Victoria, Australia. The scheme commenced in 1922, and was the first state-owned hydroelectric scheme to generate electricity in mainland Australia, and among the first in the world to be remotely controlled. For the first ten years of its operation it supplied on average 16.9% of electricity generated by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria. It is now owned and operated by AGL Energy and contributes approximately 0.02% of Victoria's energy supply.
Chenderoh Power Station or Chenderoh Dam is one of the oldest and the first major hydroelectric dam and power station in Malaysia. It was preceded by two earlier booiis
using Malaya's rivers; the Ulu Gombak station of 800kw in Selangor, completed in 1905 and that was used to provide Kuala Lumpur's first electric supply, and the Sungei Besi Tin Mines Ltd scheme at Ulu Langat that was purchased by the FMS Electrical Department in 1929. The dam is located in Chenderoh Lake, Kuala Kangsar District, Perak. It was constructed starting in 1927 by the Perak River Hydro-Electric Power Company Ltd and was completed between 1929 and 1930. Detailed descriptions of the scheme appear in the Minutes of the Institute of Civil Engineers, London, Volume 239, Issue 1935, 1935, pp. 253-312 and in the Architectural Review, Volume 75, No. 446, London, January 1934. The scheme was designed by the consulting engineers Rendel, Palmer & Tritton of London and Vattenbyggnadsbyran (VBB) of Stockholm, Sweden. The architect was Osvald Almqvist.
