Aarberg Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Structure

The Aarberg hydropower plant is a run-of-river power plant at the start of the Hagneck Canal near Aarberg, which was put into operation in 1963.
With this construction of this facility, the Aare water between Bern and Lake Biel was used a fifth time. The bed of the "old Aare" - the original course of the Aare before the Jura water correction - only needs to be supplied with mandatory water. What made the old Aare into an almost inconspicuous body of water. Today, however, the old Aare has been restored in many places and is an experience in itself.

Aarberg is a secret in many respects. Gourmets, for example, will get their money's worth, but the picturesque host city square is also worth a visit. For example, you can sit down at the confiserie Steffen at a table and treat yourself to a piece of the regionally famous cake.
