Kaprun Main Stage Storage Power Plant

The four storage reservoirs (Margaritze, Mooserboden, Wasserfallboden and Klammsee), the highest of which is situated 2,000 metres above sea level, guarantee an optimal water supply for the Kaprun plant group, supported by pumping stations and pumped storage power plants. The first reservoirs and the Kaprun main stage storage power station were built between 1938 and 1953 and consumed a large amount of resources.

The Kaprun main stage power plant forms the heart of green electricity generation and has the highest annual generate output of the plant group. The installation of two new turbines and generators as well as a new transformer in 2016 increased the output of the power plant by approx. 10%.
