Egglfing-Obernberg Hydropower Plant, Run-of-river power station in Pocking, Germany.

The Egglfing-Obernberg Hydropower Plant stretches 255 meters across the Inn River, featuring six Kaplan turbines that generate electricity for Bavaria and Upper Austria.

Construction of the power plant began in July 1941 to supply energy to an aluminum smelter, with the final turbine installation completed in September 1950.

The facility represents a joint German-Austrian engineering achievement, operating on the Inn River that forms the natural border between the two countries.

The power station generates 485 million kilowatt-hours annually through its 84-megawatt capacity system, supporting regional energy needs in both countries.

The power plant creates a 12.7-kilometer reservoir recognized as part of the Ramsar wetland site Unterer Inn, supporting water management and wildlife habitats.
