The artificial water basin at a height of 509 meters is used in conjunction with the reservoir in the valley to store energy in the form of water. In times when little energy is used in the form of electricity, the excess energy is used to pump the water into the upper basin. If a lot of electricity / energy is consumed, the pumped storage plant produces energy by draining water from the upper basin through the turbines and thus generating energy. So nothing more than a large battery on the mountain top. The pumped storage plant was built from 1954 to 1964 and goes back to plans from 1925.
