Höngg Power Station, Run-of-the-river power station in District 10, Switzerland
The Höngg Power Station stands along the Limmat River, using its natural flow to generate electricity through a system of turbines and rake screens.
Built in 1893, this power facility marked the early stages of hydroelectric development in Switzerland, representing a shift toward industrial energy production.
The power station holds class B status in the Swiss cultural property registry, reflecting its engineering and architectural value to the Zürich region.
The facility generates 1.2 megawatts of power, contributing to the local electricity grid through sustainable hydroelectric production methods.
Located at Winzerhalde 75, the station features an orange building that combines industrial functionality with structural elements from the late 19th century.
