Austria
Pumped storage power plants can absorb large amounts of energy and release it again during times of peak demand. This makes them a much-needed part of the energy transition. This project is particularly important for energy balance in Upper Austria. With surplus electricity, water from Lake Traun is pumped almost 500m up into a storage facility in the mountains. In times of increased demand, green electricity is supplied from there. It does not have to be bought on the market or produced using fossil fuels. The power plant is not only an important undertaking, but also a complex one: For example, in addition to earthworks and engineering work, the remit also includes the construction of the Traunsee outlet structure, the tunnelling and gallery construction, the construction of two plumb shafts, and the excavation of an inclined shaft with an unusually steep incline of 60°.
