The Ehreshoven II power station is a hydropower station in Ehreshoven . The facility is a listed building.
Location and description
The power plant is located in the southwest of the Engelskirchen district of Loope on the border with Vilkerath , which, as a district of the city of Overath, belongs to the Rheinisch-Bergisch district . The system dams an arm of the Agger to the Ehreshoven reservoir . A tributary of the Agger branches off from the main stream at the Ehreshoven I power station , flows around the reservoir to the west and flows back into the main stream immediately behind it.
The structure accumulates 324,000 m³ of the Agger. The drop height of the water is 5.60 meters. The average standard energy capacity of the two Kaplan turbines is 1992 megawatt hours. In 2007 Ehreshoven II was able to generate 2,800 megawatt hours, together with Ehreshoven I , 6,200 megawatt hours were generated in that year. Both power plants together can supply around 800 households with electricity.
history
The council of the municipality of Engelskirchen, which at the time belonged to the district of Wipperfürth , was considering using the Agger to generate electrical energy before the 1920s, but either did not have sufficient financial resources or was prevented from realizing it by inflation. The county Gummersbach handed instead on August 24, 1923 the District Committee Cologne lodge an application in which belonging to Engelskirchen Broich to build power stations and in Ehreshoven. The Ermen & Engels company and the Engelskirchen community responded in February 1924 with their own application.
On September 2, 1924, the Cologne district committee demanded improvements and postponed a decision on the construction of a power plant in Ehreshoven. At the same time, he rejected an alternative application from Wasserkraft GmbH Overath and the Ehreshoven monastery administration to build a power plant here. The district of Gummersbach, which originally wanted to involve the communities of Engelskirchen and Ründeroth and the district of Wipperfürth, now refrained from participating due to their own failed applications and counter-projects. After the district electricity works Dieringhausen had allocated special quotas for electricity to the community of Engelskirchen, the community of Engelskirchen withdrew its own applications and objections to the construction of the plant in October 1925.
The plant was put into operation in 1933 and sold in 1935 to RWE , which sold it to a private operator in 2002.
The power station is of no importance for the electricity production of the Oberbergischer Kreis .
