The nationally listed Hydroelectric Power Station Roeven, located near Sluis 15, was built in 1920. The turbine of the power station is powered by water that falls 1.8 meters from the Zuid-Willemsvaart into the feed channel connected to the Noordervaart. Traditionally, the electricity generated was used to illuminate the lock, the service houses and some nearby farms. Around 1949 the power station was put out of operation. After a thorough restoration in 1992-1993, the power station was put back into use. It has been supplying green energy ever since.
