Power station and weir, Run-of-river power station in Hagneck, Switzerland.
The power station processes large quantities of water from the Aare River through its infrastructure to generate electricity at 430 meters above sea level.
Construction of the Hagneck hydropower plant commenced in 1897 after the Canton of Berne granted concessions to municipalities including Biel and Nidau.
The facility holds class B Swiss cultural property status and maintains mechanical infrastructure that integrates with the protected townscape of Hagneck.
The weir structure demonstrates capacity to manage water discharges up to 2,700 cubic meters per second, ensuring effective flood control for the region.
Seasonal water availability patterns influence the power generation, with peak flows occurring during spring months due to snowmelt in adjacent rivers.
