Ottensheim-Wilhering
Run-of-River Power Plant

VERBUND's power plant of Ottensheim-Wilhering is a run-of-river plant situated on the Danube and in the municipality of Wilhering in Upper Austria.

The power plant was built between 1970 and 1974 with the financial participation of Energie AG Oberösterreich and Salzburg AG.
For the first time in a Danube power plant in Austria, Kaplan bulb turbines with horizontal shaft were installed instead of the previously used Kaplan turbines with vertical shaft at the Ottensheim-Wilhering power plant. This arrangement of the machine sets enables a lower construction and better integration of the power plant building into the surrounding landscape.
