About 1.1 km (linear distance) northeast below the Okertalsperre is the hydroelectric plant at Romkerhalle. His Francis turbine is driven by water, which is passed from the dam through a pressure tunnel, followed by a short pipeline there. The in 1956 commissioned power plant has an installed power of 4.14 MW. The resulting pipeline gradient is up to 80 m, the nominal flow rate of the turbine 6.5 m³ per second and the annual work is 12.5 million kWh per year. The power plant is operated as a storage power plant about eight hours a day. For this time interrupted power plant operation resulting strong water level changes in the Oker up to the equalizing reservoir. The power plant drained directly into the riverbed of Oker; At this point begins the whitewater course of the river, which is used by using the intermittent operation of power plants for canoeing.
