Project consortium “Wasserkraft Plessur” has resumed its plans for all-new hydropower plant Pradapunt in Switzerland. Once online, the facility could supply energy to 10,000 households. It is to utilise the drop of the Plessur river between Litzirüti and Pradapunt to generate around 42 GWh of energy a year. The new power plant would close the existing gap in the cascade of power stations on the Plessur, eliminating the fluctuations in discharge water volume from hydropower plant ­Litzirüti. The consortium consists of the three partners of Arosa ­Energie, IBC Energie Wasser Chur, and Axpo. Together they had ­already begun planning for hydropower plant Pradapunt in 2014, but then decided to put the project on ice in 2017 due to the unfavour­able economic forecast for that year. With the economic situation having improved over the last few years, the consortium is switching into high gear again.
