And so, only groups go down to the operating room. It's 7.5 meters below the water level of the Mulde, explains Martin Hilgert, the plant's technical director. That seems to be the cue for Karsten, as he looks up skeptically. But his attention is already drawn to two colorfully designed giant pipes. These turbines are capable of generating around 4.5 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year. That's enough to supply approximately 1,800 households for a year, according to Hilgert. It's not easy for him, as he has to use his voice to force the noise of the machines down here. 20 cubic meters of water flow through each turbine per second. Normally. Now, however, the power is throttled; the water level in the Mulde is low, explains the expert. "Two to three cubic meters of water are needed as a minimum for energy generation. And then it all depends on the gradient. Without that, it wouldn't work; mathematicians knew that a thousand years ago." So, during floods, nothing works.
