    Tips

    January 14, 2021

    Lake Burida was born in 1894 when, on the outskirts of Pordenone along the Rio Maj, a small dam was built with the aim of obtaining an artificial lake of about ten hectares. The collection of water thus achieved, through a fall of eight meters, moved the blades of a turbine capable of producing an average power of about 120 kilowatts. The energy was conveyed to the Amman Cotton Mill in Borgomeduna thanks to a specially built power line on steel pylons. The large plant, in fact, used the strength of several local waterways to cover its energy needs. In this regard, it is interesting to note that, since the end of the nineteenth century, the cotton industries of Pordenone were real pioneers in the field of electricity production, mainly used in factories, but also sold for public lighting.
