Pumped Storage Station Partenstein, Hydroelectric power station in Kleinzell im Mühlkreis, Austria.
The Pumped Storage Station Partenstein operates by pumping water to higher elevations during low demand and releasing it through turbines when electricity is needed.
The construction of this power station in 1924 marked a milestone as the first large water power installation in Upper Austria, initiating regional electrification.
The architectural design by Mauriz Balzarek combines industrial functionality with structural elements that represent early 20th-century engineering practices in Austria.
The power station maintains a nominal output of 33.8 megawatts, contributing to the stability of Upper Austria's electrical grid through its storage capabilities.
Located at the end of the Great Mühl Valley, the station structure has integrated with nature as ivy growth partially covers its exterior walls.
