The Goldisthal pumped storage power plant is still one of the largest and most modern power plants of its kind in Europe; it can produce 1 gigawatt of power for 9 hours.

From here you have a great view of the lower reservoir of the Goldisthal pumped storage power plant. It was commissioned in 2003 and is the largest hydroelectric power station in Germany and one of the largest in Europe.
