    The hydroelectric power plant on Lake Forggensee was built between 1950 and 1954 and is an important component of BAWAG's hydroelectric power plant chain. It has a nominal capacity of 45.5 MW and can generate 152.6 GWh of electrical energy annually.

    The power plant is normally unmanned and controlled from a central control room in Landshut.

    The water supplied to the power plant is taken from Lake Forggensee just above the base of the dam through an intake structure located on the northern slope and flows through a headrace tunnel to the turbines.
