The Oberaudorf-Ebbs power plant is a run-of-river power plant operated by the Austrian Verbund AG am Inn , which forms the German-Austrian border at this point . It is named after the municipalities of Oberaudorf and Ebbs , in which the power plant is located.

history

The Austrian water rights authority had approved the downstream Nussdorf power station on the condition that the Oberaudorf-Ebbs power station also be built. After a five-year approval process, construction began in February 1988. Due to resistance from the Austrian side, there was already a one-year construction freeze in March 1988. After a few additional measures, construction work was resumed in February 1988. During the construction period, the Inn was routed past the construction site on the left bank. The two turbines were put into operation in April and July 1992.

E.ON sold its share in the operating company of the power plant, Österreichisch-Bayerische Kraftwerke AG, to the Austrian Verbund AG in 2013 as part of an exchange deal.

investment

The power plant was built as a pillar power plant. It consists of a three-field weir system, each of which houses a Kaplan bulb turbine with the associated generator in the two central pillars .

The backwater of the Inn extends about 9.8 km to the mouth of the Weißache . Downstream the river was deepened by two meters over a length of 2.8 km.

The switchgear for feeding the electricity into the grid is on the Austrian side.

Since 2015 there has been a fish passage on the right bank of the river, which connects the Inn below the power plant with the Jennbach, which flows into the Inn directly above the system.

Motor shipping

In the backwater from Niederndorf about 9 km up to Kufstein , after the completion of the Langkampfen Inn power plant , a small motor ship Tirol started in 1998 , and the 116-person motor ship St. Nikolaus from April 2000 as a tourist means of transport. The Achenseeschifffahrt of TIWAG was the operator for 13 years until it was discontinued in 2011 .
