If the inhabitants of Geneva have electricity, even during peak consumption, it is thanks to the Verbois dam! This site produces 15% of the canton's consumption, which does not prevent it from being exploited in such a way as to preserve the fauna and flora that surround it. (source: ww2.sig-ge.ch)

The dam, which was inaugurated in 1944, is the largest source of electrical energy production in the canton of Geneva.
