    The Obere Hunte hydroelectric power station was built on the Hunte in 1927 and is now a listed building. It is a run-of-river power plant with two Kaplan turbines that are still operational. They produce electricity with an output of 700 kilowatts. The main task of the power plant is to regulate the water levels of the coastal canal, Hunte and Mühlenhunte. Fish can avoid the power plant via a fish ladder that was built later and move from the lower reaches of the Hunte to the upper reaches to spawn.
