__NOTOC__
'''Lac de l'Hongrin''' is a [[reservoir]] in [[Vaud]], [[Switzerland]]. The reservoir with a surface area of {{convert|1.60|km2|abbr=on}} is located in the municipalities of [[Château-d'Œx]] and [[Ormont-Dessous]]. The two [[arch dam]]s Hongrin Nord and Hongrin Sud were completed in 1969. The Dam helps with hydro electricity, and stops flooding in the area.

The water of the Hongrin reservoir is used for the [[Veytaux Pumped Storage Power Station]]. This power station has currently a [[nameplate capacity]] of 240&nbsp;[[megawatt]]s. Additional turbines which will double capacity to 480&nbsp;MW will be commissioned by end of 2015.{{update after|2015}}<ref>Alpiq Group: ''[http://www.alpiq.com/what-we-offer/our-assets/hydropower/hydropower-plant-projects/forces-motrices-hongrin-lman-fmhl.jsp New Veytaux power station (FMHL+)]'', accessed 2014-12-15.</ref>
