Continuity and habitat
Continuity and habitat at the Egglfing-Obernberg power plant are part of a large-scale project that is also a component of the EU-LIFE project “LIFE Riverscape Lower Inn”. In the current project – as has already happened at the Ering-Frauenstein power plant – the goal is not only to improve continuity but also to create habitat. An attractive habitat for (aquatic) lifeforms in all stages of development makes a lasting contribution to boosting populations and ecological value. At the Oberlieger power plant, for example, this has been successfully achieved.
