The Uglich Hydroelectric Station or Uglich GES ({{langx|ru|Угличская ГЭС}}) is a hydroelectric station on the Volga River in Uglich in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia, and is the first of the Volga-Kama cascade of dams. It began operating on December 8, 1940, making it one of the oldest hydroelectric plants in Russia. The 120-MW plant is operated by RusHydro.{{cite web|title=Uglich hydropower, Uglich (JSC "Cascade of Upper Volga HPP")| publisher = Volga Hydropower Cascade| date = 2010 | url = http://www.vohec.ru/uglges.phtml| access-date = 17 December 2011}}{{cite web|title=Voith Siemens to supply equipment for Uglich plant| publisher = New Europe| date = April 4, 2007 | url = http://www.neurope.eu/article/voith-siemens-supply-equipment-uglich-plant| access-date = 17 December 2011}} There is also a Russian hydropower museum located at the hydroelectric plant dedicated to the development of hydropower.{{cite web|title=Uglich.
