More renewable energy from hydropower: Refurbishment work at an altitude of 1,700 metres

The energy transition requires high-capacity storage solutions. The Wurtenspeicher is the centrepiece of Kelag’s Fragant power station complex in the Mölltal valley, situated at 1,700 metres above sea level. The dam is being raised by seven metres, thereby almost doubling its storage capacity from 2.7 to 5 million cubic metres of water. Facilities such as the Wurtenspeicher can effectively compensate for grid fluctuations – an important contribution to a sustainable energy supply in Carinthia.
