Power Plant Luce Verde

    Big industrial sites need a lot of energy. Sometimes it’s worth investing in an own power plant. In the 1940’s construction of this power plant started. Five turbines supplied power to the adjecent factory and in the 50’s one more turbine was added. 10 years later the big hall was expanded on the north side with space for one turbine and on the southern end with space for 2 turbines.

    Centrale Piccola Torre

      In the 50’s, this thermoelectric power plant was built to use the lignite excavated from the adjacent mining field. Because of the lignite running out, a new power plant was built just around the corner. This one closed down in 2001. The turbines were dismantled and a part of the building was demolished. Only the control room and a small cooling tower remain. The rest of the buildings were gutted as well and vandals already found their way onto the premises. Read More

      Centrale Idroelettrica V

        This hydroelectric power station was built in the 1910’s to supply power to the chemical plant on the premises. The power station consisted of seven Francis turbines that together produced almost 200 million kWh of electricity per year.

        During the Second World War the station was damaged heavily. After restorations the capacity was reduced by 30%. In the 70’s the power station was replaced by a new power station. Copper thieves then looted the abandoned site and took everything valuable. Read More
