Wasserleitungskraftwerk Gaming, Protected hydroelectric power station in Gaming, Austria.

Wasserleitungskraftwerk Gaming consists of two plants in Gaming, Lower Austria, fed by drinking water from the Second Vienna High Spring Water Main. Gaming I, built 1923–1926, has a two-storey turbine hall and service rooms, two Francis turbines, and a 588 m pressure pipe dropping 188 m. Gaming II, realised in the 1980s, uses a Francis spiral turbine at the end of a 2.25 km pressure pipe with a 28.7 m head.

The first installation was built in the 1920s to supply electricity for Vienna Electric Works. A second facility was added later to expand power production for the growing demand.

The plant's name appears on the facade as "WASSERKRAFTWERK GAMING I", and the site belongs entirely to Wien Energie, operated by Naturkraft GmbH. Because of this Viennese ownership, the area around Lunz and Göstling is supplied by Wiener Netze rather than the usual Lower Austrian energy provider EVN.

The plant stands in Gaming-Pockau, reached via the road from Gaming; the water arrives through a 7.95 km tunnel from Grubberg and drops 188 m through a 588 m pressure pipe to the two Francis turbines. The building is a listed object, so it is best viewed from outside along the public road rather than entered.

Gaming I draws its water from the Second Vienna High Spring Water Main at Grubberg, sending it through a 7.95 km tunnel and a 588 m pressure pipe that drops 188 m to two Francis turbines. The plant yields about 42 GWh a year, roughly the average demand of 17,000 households, before the water returns to the main.
