Kraftwerke Handeck 2 & 2E — Grimselstrasse 19, 3862 Innertkirchen, Switzerland

Construction: The Handeck power plants were part of Switzerland’s expansion of hydropower infrastructure in the early to mid-20th century, reflecting the country's commitment to renewable energy and efficient resource management. Role in Swiss Hydropower: These plants are integral to the hydropower network in Switzerland, which produces over 60% of the country's electricity from renewable sources. The plants are fed by the Räterichsbodensee and Grimselsee reservoirs, which collect glacial meltwater from the surrounding Alps, particularly during the summer months when demand for energy is high.
