The Kesselbach power plant is a hydropower plant in Altjoch (district of Kochel am See ) in the vicinity of the Walchensee power plant on the Kochelsee in Bavaria .
description
The run-of-river power plant uses a large part of the water from the Kesselbach on the northern slope of the Kesselberg , which is conducted in a pressure pipe over a gradient of around 100 m to the power plant building a few meters above the Oskar-von-Miller-Straße leading to the Walchensee power plant.
It has an installed capacity of 200 kW (0.2 MW). The regular energy per year is approx. 1.5 GWh. It is operated by Uniper Kraftwerke GmbH, Isar power plant group.
history
The first thoughts on this power plant go back to 1888. The implementation initially failed due to the resistance of the community of Kochel, which saw the Kesselbach waterfall, which was a tourist attraction at the time, endangered by the stream discharge. The idea was taken up again in 1903, and it was finally completed in 1908. In 1919, the Kesselbach power plant was expanded to its present-day form for construction work on the Walchensee power plant in order to supply electricity for the numerous electrically operated construction machines. However, it could only cover around a third of the demand, the other two thirds were generated with steam-powered generators, the so-called locomobiles . After the expansion, it went back into operation on December 3, 1919. With this expansion, the Kesselbach waterfall finally disappeared.
The Kesselbach power plant was sold to Walchensee AG in 1931. The power plant was only legally approved on December 29, 1965 by the Bad Tölz District Office .
