Hydroelectric power plant Fala

In 1913, the construction of the first hydroelectric power plant on the Drava river began, which was at the same time the largest hydroelectric power plant in the Eastern Alps. It was designed with the idea of supplying the network of an industrial basin in the middle Styria with Graz. The break-up of the Austro-Hungarian state and the new state border thwarted their plans. At the end of the First World War, the power plant was upgraded, but it was not properly equipped and lacked sufficient transmission lines to the consumer centers, but at that time electricity was very little used. In the area of the oldest hydroelectric power station on the Drava River, which was renovated and is still in operation today, the monumental space of the original engine room with a preserved horizontal Francis turbine is arranged for visitors. A renewed turbine with a partially open turbine lid provides insight into the mode of operation of the power plant, and how the energy of water is transformed into electricity. In their museum you can walk through the history of the Fala HPP.
