Centrale idroelettrica di Ligonchio
Centrale idroelettrica di Ligonchio, Hydroelectric power station in Ventasso, Italy
The Ligonchio power station includes two water reservoirs, one at Presa Alta at 1,229 meters and another at Ligonchio at 1,000 meters elevation point.
The power station began operations in 1950, utilizing the Rossendola and Ozola streams to generate electricity for the surrounding regions of northern Italy.
The Atelier delle Acque e delle Energie, located within the power station, presents exhibitions about water physics and electricity generation processes.
The facility generates 56,500 MWh of electricity annually through a system of turbines powered by water flowing through forced conduits from Tarlanda tank.
During World War II in April 1945, local resistance fighters protected the power station from German forces, preserving this essential infrastructure.
