Kolnbrein Current Status

Top reservoir level was scheduled for 1994 and reached in 1993. Small adjustments to the new supporting dam and its elements were made during 1992 and 1993.

They are now behaving as expected and the reservoir is being used to its full extent. Kolnbrein dam and the Malta power system provide 2% of Austria's power supply.
