The settlement of Hydro-electric Power Station -2 is located close by confluence of the Ozernaya and Almaty (Prohodnaya) Rivers. One of the series of hydroelectric station of the 2-nd hydroelectric plant was erected there in 1940-s by haul Japanese. A pipe, pumping water under powerful jet to the plant turbine, descends from the break-over. The tunnel punched through the mountain transports water from the Ozernaya River to the ridge. Mouth of the tunnel is located in the upper reaches of the gorge near the settlement of the Hydroelectric Plant-1.

At present the settlement is nicknamed the 'Town of Crafts masters', as idle premises were put at disposal to craftsmen offering a wide spectrum of handicraft.
