Ponale Hydroelectric Power Plant ( Italian: Centrale idroelettrica del Ponale) is a pumped storage plant, located in city of Riva del Garda in the Italian province of Trentino, on River Ponale between Lake Ledro and Lake Garda. [1] Its output capability is 76MW. [2]
The station was built in 1928-1929 [3] and, following rework of the pipes, underwent overhaul in 1998. [1]
From Lake Ledro, the water is ducted several kilometers to penstocks at a point (close to the Chiesetta di Santa Barbara) almost directly above the power station buildings and machinery at Riva del Garda; from here it falls on a gradient approaching 3:1 to the turbines. [4] [5]
The station is known by the world record in high-rise concrete pumping during the reconstruction in 1994. The achieved record was 532m. [2]
During construction of the plant, there was discovered the remains of a Bronze Age pile-dwelling village (over 10 000 piles) on the east of the Lake Ledro. [6]
