Langwedel barrage, Hydroelectric power station in Langwedel, Germany.
The Langwedel barrage spans across the Weser River in Lower Saxony, incorporating four Kaplan turbines that convert water flow into electrical power.
Constructed in 1958, the power station changed ownership in 2009 when Statkraft acquired the facility from E.ON to expand renewable energy operations.
The power station reflects Germany's commitment to sustainable energy production, generating 44.8 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually for local communities.
Special monitoring equipment called Migromaten tracks eel migration patterns, enabling operators to adjust the facility's functions during marine life movement periods.
The barrage maintains dual functionality by managing water levels in the Weser River while generating 7.2 megawatts of renewable electrical power.
