The Bettenberg run-of-river power plant is a small loop power plant south of Wildberg in the Calw district in Baden-Württemberg and the first tunnel power plant in the world.
It was put into operation in 1901 and uses the 7.20 meter gradient that the Nagold overcomes by flowing around the Bettenberg . For this purpose, a 320 meter long tunnel was driven through the mountain of beds. Weir and inlet structure are located at 47.84 kilometers of water. The total electrical output of the two machine sets with Francis turbines from the 1920s is 270 kilowatts with an average head of 5.5 meters. The annual standard work capacity is 1700 MWh. Before the renovation of the entire system was completed at the end of 2011, the total output was 200 kilowatts.
