Fish migration aid for the Schärding-Neuhaus power station
The VERBUND Schärding-Neuhaus power plant is a run-of-river power plant on the River Inn and connects the municipalities of Schärding in Upper Austria and Neuhaus in Bavaria. The power plant with an annual generation of 541,800 MWh was commissioned in 1966. The fish migration aid will consist of a 3.5 kilometre long bypass. This will not only make the power station passable for fish. The newly created river habitat will provide spawning grounds for fish, shelter for juvenile fish and a refuge for all types of aquatic life.
