Lake Tassenbach (Speicher Tassenbach), source of water for Amlach power station

Amlach power station (Kraftwerk Amlach) is a diversionary-run-of-the-river hydroelectricity power generating station on the Drava river in Austria. The power station is operated by Tiroler Wasserkraft (TIWAG) on river water flowing between Tassenbach, Strassen, Tyrol and Amlach, near Lienz.[1][2][3][4]

It is the only run-of-river power station in Tyrol. A small natural lake next to Tassenbach railway station is used for water extraction and daily buffering ("pondage"), then the water flows 24 kilometres (15 mi) via underground pipes down a height of 370 metres (1,200 ft) to the power station at Amlach, where two 60-Megawatt Francis turbines are installed, after which the water is returned to the river Drava via a short draft tube and tail race.[5]

For the official opening in March 1989, a special charter train transported guests, including Alois Partl, directly from Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof to a temporary station on the Drava Valley railway [de; it] close to the power station.[6]
