Gepatschspeicher, Hydroelectric reservoir in Kaunertal, Austria
The Gepatschspeicher reservoir stretches across 600 meters in length and stands at an elevation of 1751 meters in the Austrian Alps.
Engineers completed the construction of this hydroelectric power facility in 1964, marking a substantial advancement in Austria's renewable energy infrastructure.
The reservoir demonstrates Austria's commitment to sustainable energy production while maintaining the natural resources of the Kaunertal region.
The facility generates 395 megawatts of power through a 13-kilometer tunnel system that channels water from the reservoir to the power station.
Water from the neighboring Pitztal valley flows into the reservoir through an additional tunnel, increasing the facility's power generation capacity.
