Increased electricity production
Aarekraftwerk Klingnau produced around 191 million kilowatt hours of electricity for its partners in the 2022/23 financial year. This is around 15 percent more than in 2022 and corresponds to the consumption of around 42,000 four-person households. The increase in production is due to hydrological conditions. In a long-term comparison, the Aare carried around 11 percent less water.
In 2022, the volume of water was even lower at around 30 percent below the long-term comparison. On a total of 32 days, more water flowed than the power plant could turbinate (2022: 7 days).
