Kraftwerk auf der Töll, Hydroelectric power plant in Algund, South Tyrol
The Kraftwerk auf der Töll harnesses water from the Etsch River through a 500-meter tunnel in the Marlinger Mountain to generate electrical power.
Built between 1896 and 1898 under engineer Oskar von Miller's direction, this facility became the first major power plant in South Tyrol.
The power station represents early industrial development in South Tyrol, marking the transition from traditional water mills to modern electrical generation methods.
The facility contains four Francis turbines with a total capacity of 28.6 MW, converting water energy into electricity for the surrounding communities.
The plant underwent a complete renovation between 1995 and 1997, replacing all turbines and generators while implementing automated control systems.
