Project description
An underground cavern storage facility and a cavern power plant are being built to replace the existing machinery at the Murgwerk and Schwarzenbachwerk plants. Together with the existing equalising reservoir, these components form the new lower stage. The Schwarzenbach dam serves as the upper reservoir. After being used in the cavern power plant, the water is collected in the cavern storage facility and the balancing reservoir. If necessary, it can be transported from here back to the Schwarzenbach dam via the cavern power plant’s pump turbine and later used again to generate electricity.
