The power plant went into operation in 1913, i.e. exactly 110 years ago, and still contributes to the power supply in the region today.

The Hohenberg small hydropower plant, also known as the Thorhof power plant, is located on the Unrecht Traisen River in the Lower Austrian municipality of Hohenberg and has been in operation since 1913. With a capacity of approximately 250 kilowatts, the plant generates around 1,820 megawatt hours of electricity annually, sufficient to supply more than 500 households. The plant is a typical diversion power plant and exemplifies sustainable electricity generation using small hydropower in rural regions. As part of modern ecological measures, a 35-meter-long fish pass was built to restore the river's permeability and enable the natural migration of fish species such as brown trout, rainbow trout, and bullhead. The Hohenberg power plant thus combines historic energy generation with contemporary environmental protection.
