Power plant was built by mandate of royal treasurer between years 1903-1904. After the World War II, the device began to decay, and it was severely devastated after being forced to shut down in 1966. Electrified narrow-gauge railway also finished its service. Power plant was purchased by Electric o Bath company in 1990. It immediately started with a reconstruction, which also involved preserving the original machines.

There are picture panels on its premises today, showing its entire history and history of the forest railway.
