Kraftwerk Palü

At that time, the lowest level had already been in operation for almost 20 years. At the beginning of the 1920s, there was talk of concrete plans for the expansion of Lake Palü. The Palü power plant, equipped with a vertical Pelton turbine and a second turbine (Francis) located more than 30 meters lower and connected to each other by a single pivot, owes its position, high above the current level of the lake, precisely to these expansion projects, which were never realized. During the Second World War, in order to reduce dependence on foreign countries, a pumping system was also installed in the Palü power plant that allows the water from Lake Palü to be conducted into Lake Bianco.
