The Eitting power plant is a run -of-river power plant on the Middle Isar Canal near Eitting in the Bavarian district of Erding .

It forms the fourth step of the power station staircase on the Mittlere-Isar Canal and was built by Mittlere Isar AG from 1921 to 1925 as part of the first construction phase of the canal . This company was later taken over by Bayernwerk , which was merged into E.ON in 2000 , the parent company of the former operator E.ON Wasserkraft GmbH , from which it was transformed into Uniper Kraftwerke GmbH . The architectural design of the power plant comes from Karl Söldner, Munich. The building is a listed building . The Altenerding – Pfrombach railway line was built for the construction.

Technology and operation

The power plant has a gradient of 25.3 m. From the intake structure, the water is directed in four large pressure pipes with a diameter of 5 m and a length of around 30 m to the four Francis turbines in the machine hall that is perpendicular to the canal. For the first time in the world, in the Eitting power plant and in the technically similar Aufkirchen power plant, the Francis turbines were designed horizontally with a vertical shaft and each with a generator mounted above it on a strong vault. The electrical output of the power plant is 26 MW . The power plant also generates traction current .

East of the machine hall is the so-called empty shot, a channel in which the water can be directed past the power plant.

Until a few years ago, the power plant still had its own control center, but as part of the power plant stairs it has always had to be controlled in harmony with the other power plants. For this purpose, it received the specifications from the Neufinsing power plant , in which all relevant data was coordinated. Later, the Eitting power plant, like all E.ON Wasserkraft power plants along the Mittlere-Isar Canal, was centrally monitored and controlled by the Neufinsing power plant. In the Eitting power plant, personnel are therefore only required for the necessary maintenance and repair work. Since May 1, 2011, all E.ON Wasserkraft power plants on the Isar, Lech and Danube have been controlled from their headquarters in Landshut .
