Mühleberg power station
Mühleberg power station, Run-of-river power station in Mühleberg, Switzerland.
Description
The Mühleberg power station is a run-of-river hydroelectric facility on the Aare River in Switzerland that generates electricity from the natural flow of the water. The station harnesses the river's current to spin turbines and produce power without requiring a large reservoir.
History
The facility was built between 1917 and 1921 during a period of rapid industrial development in Switzerland. Its completion marked an important step forward for hydropower development in the Bern region.
Culture
The power station holds the status of Swiss townscape worthy of protection, reflecting its importance in the industrial heritage of the Bern-Mittelland region.
Practical
The facility sits directly on the river and is visible from the local pathways that run along the Aare. Visitors can view the structure from the outside, with the best views available from nearby bridges and riverside walkways.
Did you know?
The facility led to the creation of Lake Wohlen, a water body formed during construction that transformed the landscape around it. The lake is now used by local residents and visitors for recreation and water activities.
