The Wasserburg power plant is a run-of-river power plant operated by the Austrian Verbund AG in Wasserburg am Inn in Upper Bavaria .

In order to be able to expand the aluminum smelter in Töging, which until then had been supplied with electricity by the Töging power plant , Innwerk AG commissioned the planning of power plants on the Inn . One of the power plants was finally built in Wasserburg. The Teufelsbruck power plant and the Gars power plant were built at the same time .

The facility is located on the Inn, just a few hundred meters southwest of the old town of Wasserburg am Inn. The power plant, built from 1935 to 1938, consists of a four-span weir on the left bank and a power house with five Kaplan turbines on the right. These turbines with a vertical axis carry three-phase generators for a nominal voltage of 6.3 kV. There is no machine hall, the two gantry cranes operate outdoors. The pair of rails extends from the transshipment point on the right bank over the turbines and finally the weir fields on the left bank.

In 2008/09 an extension was made to the south ( orographic right ) of the existing turbines. The so-called Triebwerk Wasserburg , a horizontal Kaplan turbine with an output of 5 MW, has served as the main turbine of the power plant since then and increased the annual yield.

In recent years, a fish pass has been built on the right bank , which can be seen on Google Maps as of March 2020.

The successor of Innwerk AG, E.ON Wasserkraft  GmbH , sold the power plant in 2009 to the Austrian Verbund AG .
