Oldenburg's Climate Treasures: Hydroelectric Power Plant Stop Cycle, discover climate treasures, and explore new things in a fun and engaging way: The hydroelectric power plant is part of the Climate Treasures Tour through Oldenburg. The following information is supplementary for the tour. Where are we? Located on the Hunte River, the Obere Hunte hydroelectric power plant was built in 1927 and is now a listed historical monument. It is a run-of-river power plant with two Kaplan turbines, which are still operational. They produce electricity with a capacity of 700 kilowatts. The power plant's main function is to regulate the water levels of the Küstenkanal (Coastal Canal), the Hunte River, and the Mühlenhunte (Mill Hunte). Fish can bypass the power plant via a fish ladder that was added later and migrate from the lower reaches of the Hunte to the upper reaches for spawning. Why is this a climate treasure? Electricity generated by hydropower does not require combustion processes and does not emit climate-damaging carbon dioxide.

🌊 Special features: At Tungeln, the river's course is regulated by the Tungeln weir. Historically, this is the point where the Hunte River was divided to protect the city of Oldenburg from flooding and to allow shipping.
