The Martini power plant in Haunstetten, a district of Augsburg, is a historic hydroelectric power plant built in the 19th century. It uses the hydropower of the Lochbach, a canal that branches off from the Lech and flows through Haunstetten. Originally, the power plant served to supply energy to the local industry, in particular the Martini company, which was active in the textile sector.
Today, the power plant is operated by Martini GmbH & Co. KG, which specializes in real estate, forestry and renewable energy generation. In addition to the hydroelectric power plant, the company also operates photovoltaic systems and open-space energy parks in order to contribute to the energy supply in a sustainable and emission-free manner.
The Martini power plant is an example of the successful integration of historic industrial plants into modern energy concepts and contributes to the region's sustainable energy supply.
