Centrale idroelettrica Esterle
Centrale idroelettrica Esterle, Hydroelectric power station in Cornate d'Adda, Italy
The Centrale idroelettrica Esterle stands on the right bank of the Adda River, featuring horizontal Francis turbines with a hydraulic capacity of 27 megawatts.
Built between 1906 and 1914, the power station was named after Carlo Esterle, who directed Edison company until 1918 and advanced industrial development.
The power station incorporates Lombard architectural elements with Gothic windows, geometric patterns, and decorated machine halls, reflecting early 20th-century industrial design.
The facility receives water through a 4800-meter canal from the Robbiate dam and operates under remote control from the Edison center in Venina.
The power station combines twelve Francis turbines in pairs, generating electricity while maintaining its original architectural character through multiple upgrades since 1998.
