The Strasbourg power plant is a run-of-river power plant on the Rhine in France . It is located near Strasbourg , the capital of the Alsace region . The power plant is not located directly on the Rhine, but on a 6 km long, parallel canal (so-called loop solution). For shipping, a lock with two lock chambers was built in the power station canal parallel to the power station . The power plant is located directly above the port of Strasbourg . Marlen, a district of Kehl, is on the German side of the Rhine . The island created by the construction of the power plant canal bears the name île du Rohrschollen .
In the Versailles Treaty in 1919, France was granted the sole right to develop the Rhine as a border river between Germany and France. The power plant, which went into operation in 1970, is operated by the state-dominated French electricity company Électricité de France .
