The construction of the new hydroelectric power plant with its own feeder canal along the upper floodplain of Grünfelder Park took place between 1924 and 1926, involving the relocation of the Oberwinkler Bach stream. In 1924/25, a fixed concrete weir was built south of Kertzsch, which diverted the Mulde River water to the power plant via the headrace.

The first electricity was generated by two turbines (750 kW and 450 kW).
