Wahnhausen hydropower plant

Germany / Hydropower / Power plant

Wahnhausen hydropower plant is located along the Fulda River in Wahnhausen in Hessen, Germany.

  • 1980
    Commissioned
  • 4 MW
    Installed capacity
  • 17.4 GWh
    Annual production

The run-of-river hydropower plant was commissioned in 1980 and has a generating capacity of 4 MW.

Statkraft took over the power plant from E.ON Energie at the beginning of 2009.

The Wahnhausen plant consists of one Kaplan turbine and is operated from the run-of-river hydropower plant Werrawerk.

Statkraft protects biodiversity and has established fish-friendly operations. We monitor eel migration with special devices (migromates) and switch to fish-friendly operation mode as soon as eels start to migrate towards the sea.
