Eglisau-Glattfelden Power Station
Eglisau-Glattfelden Power Station, Hydroelectric facility on the Rhine River in Zweidlen, Switzerland
The power station stretches across the Rhine River with a 17-meter drop, generating electricity through its run-of-river system to supply 70,000 households.
The Eglisau-Glattfelden Power Station began operations in April 1920, marking the start of industrial hydropower generation in the Zürich Canton region.
The power station maintains its original machine hall appearance from 1920, earning recognition as a Class A Swiss cultural property of national significance.

The facility incorporates boat locks and fish ladders into its structure, enabling both river navigation and natural fish migration along the Rhine River.
