Engadine storage power station

The Livigno reservoir is a model of international cooperation in the interests of electricity generation, while the Ova-Spin power station with its compensating basin shows how water extracted from the River Inn can be converted into valuable stored energy. The Pradella-Martina station (completed in 1994) is embedded in a rocky gorge 70 metres long, 22 metres wide and 34 metres high, directly on the Austrian border.
