The Altenwörth power plant is a Danube run-of-river power plant in the Katastralgemeinde Altenwörth of the Lower Austrian municipality Kirchberg am Wagram, about 20 kilometers below Krems. The most powerful Austrian Danube power plant was built between 1973 and 1976 and belongs to the Lower Danube plant group.

The Altenwörth power plant is one of the largest run-of-river power plants in Austria. It is operated by VERBUND AG. It was commissioned in 1976 and has produced approximately 2.1 billion kilowatt hours annually since then, equivalent to the annual energy needs of approximately 600,000 households.

The Altenwörth power plant, worth seeing, features a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that allows for safe crossing of the Danube. During the crossing, visitors can enjoy impressive views of the Danube and the surrounding landscape. There are rest areas and information panels providing information about the power plant and the surrounding area. It is equipped with a fish pass to ensure the ecological continuity of the Danube. It also plays an important role in flood protection, as the weirs can intervene to regulate the flow of water.
