      Built in 1893 as a private plant to supply electricity to the Werdmühle, the Höngg power plant became the property of the city of Zurich in 1973.
      With extensive renovation, ewz modernized the system in 1987 and doubled electricity production. An impressive multimedia show at the Höngg power plant today shows how electricity production and distribution works.
