Take a look behind the scenes of Austrias and Bavarias largest hydropower electricity producer
Architecture and ecology
The project currently being applied for provides for an increase in the dam’s final level and a new powerhouse next to the existing power plant. The impressive, heritage-listed structure of the old power plant will remain and the new building will be integrated into the existing architecture. The capacity of the current power plant will be increased by almost 20% as a result of the new construction and will thus supply even more valuable green electricity for the region. The environment will not be neglected either: extensive accompanying ecological measures are intended to protect existing habitats and improve the living conditions they offer.
The shell of the power plant
The design of the façade by Töginger Format Elf architects was also presented, how the new power plant building is functionally integrated into the surrounding terrain and how it enhances the view of the heritage-listed powerhouse, which dates to the 1920s. According to the architects of Format Elf, the new power plant generates more electricity without being visible.
Project milestone: Early measures allowed
The Töging-Jettenbach Renewal Project has been submitted to Mühldorf District Office for approval. The approval procedure is still ongoing. However, the authority has established that the proceedings have not revealed any aspects that would prevent the positive completion of the application. This was established by notice, thereby creating the possibility to bring selected measures forwards. More in our press release.
