In April 1884, the canton of Aargau and in May 1895 the Grand Duchy of Baden granted the power plant operators at the time, now Energiedienst AG, the necessary concessions to operate a hydroelectric power plant on the Upper Rhine.
This had a term of 90 years starting in 1898. In December 1989, the Swiss Federal Council and the Freiburg Regional Council approved new concessions for a further 80 years of power plant operation.
One requirement stipulated that a new power plant with higher electricity production be built. Energiedienst began planning a hydroelectric power plant with an output of 100 megawatts. That is four times the output.
Construction of the hydroelectric power plant in Rheinfelden began in the summer of 2003. The new dam was built by 2007. This was followed by the construction of the engine house.
Electricity was produced for the first time in 2010. The official inauguration took place in 2011. With an annual production of 600 million kilowatt hours, the Rheinfelden hydroelectric power plant now supplies green electricity to around 170,000 households. This saves the environment around 300 million kilograms of carbon dioxide.
In order to preserve the natural river landscape, Energiedienst also invested in ecological compensation measures.

Ryburg-Schwörstadt Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

The Ryburg-Schwörstadt power plant is a Swiss stock corporation based in Rheinfelden in the canton of Aargau. It was founded on October 21, 1926. The power plant was built between 1927 and 1931. It is located on the Upper Rhine, around 21 kilometers upstream from Basel, on the border between Germany and Switzerland, and was one of the first hydroelectric power plants on the Rhine to have all the features of a modern river power plant. The low-pressure drive was built across the river and has four powerful Kaplan turbines with an installed capacity of 120 megawatts. This makes the power plant the most powerful hydroelectric power plant on the Upper Rhine to this day. In order to keep the dam level constant, a 111-meter-long weir with four movable flaps (weir openings) was installed. This measure changed the character of the Rhine on this section of the river considerably, as the gradient of the water was greatly reduced. It was modernized between 1977 and 1984.
From September 2014, during the summer months, pedestrians and cyclists will be able to cross the border between Germany and Switzerland via a newly constructed cycle and pedestrian bridge beneath the power plant.

Roman Fortlet Wallbach-Stelli

Highlight • Historical Site

In the area of the municipality of Wallbach there are remains of a total of three late antique fortifications. In the case of the Wallbach-Stelli small fortress, archival research and the construction investigations carried out in advance of the renovation of the in situ preserved masonry, which was completed in 2019, provided new information on the construction technology, the construction process and the architectural design of the rising structure.
