The main power station Franken AG (GFA) was a German electricity supply companies in the Nuremberg, which by merger in 2001 E.ON Bayern opened.
In 1911, the cities of Nuremberg and Fürth, together with Elektrizitäts-AG, formerly Schuckert & Co., founded a public limited company to build a large-scale power station in Franconia . The aim was to provide enough energy to supply all of Middle Franconia with energy. The existing, no longer expandable power plants such as the Nuremberg power plant Tullnau should be replaced by the new system.
During the construction of the power station in 1912 there was a serious accident with eight fatalities. The power plant was officially opened on April 19, 1913.
From 1923 the Großkraftwerk Franken AG operated the Kachletwerk together with the Rhein-Main-Donau AG .
Since the 1950s, the Franken I ( Gebersdorf ) and Franken II ( Frauenaurach ) power plants have formed the backbone of Franconia's electricity supply, supplemented by the Happurg pumped storage power plant .
In 2001, Großkraftwerk Franken AG was merged with the four Bavarian regional utilities Energieversorgung Oberfranken AG, Isar-Amperwerke AG, OBAG AG and Überlandwerk Unterfranken AG to form E.ON Bayern AG, today's Bayernwerk AG.
