The Klingnau power plant (KRA) is a run-of-river power plant on the Aare, between the Aargau municipalities
Klingnau and Koblenz. The power plant is owned by the stock corporation Aarekraftwerk Klingnau AG, based in Klingnau.
The plant was built from 1931 to 1935 about 400 meters above the mouth of the Aare in the Rhine. Thus, the Klingnau power plant with its Klingnauer reservoir is the last barrage of the Aare. The building was heavily criticized during the crisis at that time, as domestic energy demand was already almost 100% covered.
In 2012, the canton of Aargaudie decided to reassign concession for the power plant. Two consortia applied for this. Finally, Axpo AG and AEW Energie AG were awarded the contract. Since 2015, these two companies have been the sole shareholders of the power plant as AG under the name Aarekraftwerk Klingnau AG.
