The hydropower plant draws its water from the Urfttalsperre via the Kermeter tunnel, which merges into two pressure pipes 110 m above the power plant. The power station is still in operation today. The original equipment with eight Francis turbines, each of which drove its own generator of 1,500 kilowatts, had been in operation for almost 70 years. The turbines were decommissioned in 1975 and replaced by two new, more efficient machines. Since then, the system has had an installed capacity of 16,000 kilowatts to cover peak loads. Some of the old machines have remained in place, as the new power generators take up significantly less space.Duration: 5 minutes
